Another student from al-Khalil named Nizar Mohammed was fined 3000 shekels and sentenced to 10 months in prison by an Israeli court.

The arrest campaigns included the two students from al-Najah National University Abdulrahman Shehada and Khalid Kou’.

The IOF also arrested a Birzeit University student named Mus’ab Mafarja after raiding his house in Beit Liqya village in Ramallah a few days following the arrest of the Islamic Bloc coordinator at the same university Osaid al-Qaddoumi.

In the same context the IOF arrested the ex-prisoner Mohammed Ata who studies at al-Quds University while he was passing through a military checkpoint near Jenin.
