The Israeli district court in Lod city on Thursday sentenced Palestinian prisoner Khaled al-Baseti from al-Ram town in Jerusalem to 21 years in jail and ordered him to pay 145000 shekels in compensation.
Lawyer Raslan Mahajaneh from the Palestinian Prisoner Society (PPS) said the court convicted Baseti of attempting to kill four Israelis in 2015.
In Ramallah the Israeli military court in Ofer in turn sanctioned administrative detention orders issued by the army commander in the region against several Palestinian detainees.
The PPS stated that the court approved the administrative detention of five prisoners for six months three others for four months and one for three months.
Israel systematically uses administrative detention on the basis of military orders to jail Palestinians for extended periods of time without indictment or trial.
