Israel’s Ofer military court sentenced on Monday prisoner Suheib al-Fakih to 16 years in prison and a fine of 3000 USD.
The detainee is the brother of the slain Palestinian youth Mohamed al-Fakih a member of the Ezzedine Qassam brigades who was killed in clashes with the Israeli military by the end of July 2016 in Surif town north of al-Khalil after he had been chased down for over a couple of months.
Mohamed Fakih was killed on account of carrying out an anti-occupation attack that left an Israeli settler dead near the illegal settlement of Atnael built on Palestinian land south of al-Khalil.
Suheib was kidnapped by the occupation forces in June 2016 and charged with assisting his brother and keeping him at bay from Israeli soldiers during the manhunt.
