Israeli court sentences 15-year-old Palestinian teenager to four years in prison
An Israeli court has sentenced a 15-year-old Palestinian to four years in prison, as the regime’s military arrests dozens of Palestinians in an expansion of raids across the occupied West Bank.
The Palestinian Prisoners’ Media Office (ASRA) said in a statement that Abdullah Abu Diyab was handed down the verdict on Monday.
ASRA said the Palestinian teenager, a resident of the Silwan district in the Israeli-occupied East al-Quds, had earlier spent 14 months in Israeli detention, denouncing the prison sentence against Abu Diyab as “unjust.”
The prisoners’ affairs group pointed out that 2,464 Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails hail from the city of al-Quds, including a large number of minors.
The al-Quds governor’s office also condemned the jail verdict against the Palestinian teenager, calling it a “moral crime.”
It sharply criticized the occupying Israeli regime for systematically targeting al-Quds children and teenagers with the aim of destroying the Palestinian social fabric and forcing the young generations to leave the holy city.
In recent years, the Israeli military has carried out frequent raids in the West Bank, a situation that has intensified since the onset of the war in Gaza in October 2023.
Additionally, Palestinians have faced violent assaults from illegal Israeli settlers.
According to the Palestinian Health Ministry, since the onset of Israel's devastating conflict in Gaza, at least 993 Palestinians have lost their lives, and more than 7,000 others have sustained injuries in the West Bank due to actions by Israeli forces and illegal settlers.
In a significant ruling last July, the International Court of Justice deemed Israel's occupation of Palestinian territory unlawful and urged the removal of all settlements in the West Bank and East al-Quds.
