The Israeli Military Ofter Court on Wednesday evening sentenced the anti-occupation youth Murad Id’is 16 to life in jail and a steep fine.
16-year-old Id’is a native of al-Khalil’s southern town of Yatta was sentenced to life imprisonment and a fine of up to 750000 shekels on charges of stabbing an Israeli settler in the illegal Atna’il outpost built on Palestinian lands to the south of al-Khalil province in the southern occupied West Bank.
Last July the Israeli occupation authorities knocked down Id’is’s family home as part of a tactic of collective punishment perpetrated against the families of Palestinian anti-occupation protesters.
Most of the anti-occupation stabbing attacks carried out by Palestinian youth since the outburst of the Jerusalem Intifada in early October last year have been in response to Israel’s simmering terrorism against the holy al-Aqsa Mosque and Palestinian civilians across the occupied territories.
