The Israeli Ofer court on Wednesday sentenced a Palestinian youth to two years in jail on charges of assisting the slain anti-occupation fighter Mohamed al-Fakih while he had been chased down by the Israeli forces.
A PIC news correspondent said the Ofer court ruled that Muadh al-Fakih from al-Khalil’s town of Dura be incarcerated for two years in an Israeli prison and pay a fine of up to 4000 shekels.
The sentence was issued on allegations that Muadh assisted his uncle Mohamed after he had carried out an anti-occupation shooting attack in July 2016 that took away the life of an extremist Israeli rabbi south of al-Khalil.
Mohamed al-Fakih was shot dead by the Israeli occupation forces in 2016 after the Israeli army cordoned off a home he hid himself into in Surif town in al-Khalil.
