Talkarem, ALRAY - An Israeli military court has issued a six-month administrative detention order against Palestinian detainee Hani Qasem after serving his sentence.

According to the Asra Media Office, the Israeli occupation army detained Qasem on 21 July after storming and ransacking his home in Nur Shams camp in the occupied West Bank city of Tulkarm.

The Israeli military court had sentenced Qasem to five months in jail.

Qasem was set to be released Tuesday after serving his sentence. Instead, the Israeli military court decided to place him under administrative detention without charge for six months at the request of the Israeli occupation intelligence service.

According to Palestinian figures, about 4,500 Palestinians, including 32 women and 160 children, are currently languishing in Israeli detention jails.

Among them, more than 680 Palestinians are currently being held under “Israel’s” illegal policy of administrative detention without charge or trial.
