The Israeli occupation police forces seized a sum of money from the prisoner Muhammad Farhat’s family house in Silwan town in Jerusalem on Tuesday evening.
According to Palestinian media sources the Israeli policemen stormed the town and broke into Farhat’s family house before confiscating 3000 shekels.
Farhat served six years of his 12-year prison sentence the sources pointed out.
This came after the Israeli Knesset passed a law making it easier for authorities to revoke citizenship and residency from Palestinians imprisoned over Israeli-designated “acts of terror” and who receive financial assistance from the Palestinian Authority.
Under the law a Palestinian citizen of Israel or a Palestinian in the occupied and illegally annexed east Jerusalem who holds Israeli residency can be stripped of their status after being convicted or charged for an “act of terrorism” and receiving money from the PA.
The PA which governs parts of the occupied West Bank provides financial aid to families of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails as well as those killed or seriously injured by Israeli forces.
