Israel’s Salem military court west of Jenin extended on Thursday the detention of the mother of Ashraf Na’luwa who carried out an anti-occupation attack near Israel’s illegal Brakan settlement built on Palestinian land in the occupied West Bank.
The Israeli court ruled that Wafa Mahdawi aged 54 be detained until October 24 pending the arrest of her son.
The Israeli military prosecution gave instructions to subject her to exhaustive questioning.
Ashraf’s sister Feirouz has also been made to endure intensive questioning at Israeli detention centers on the same grounds.
Over recent days the Israeli military has ransacked Ashraf’s family home and cracked down on his relatives on a daily basis in the hunt for the youth.
Such measures make part of Israeli attempts to force Ashraf to turn himself in to the Israeli police.
