Court to release controversial Islamic cleric to house arrest
The Haifa District Court orders the conditional release of a controversial Islamic cleric who has been in jail since for inciting terrorism.
Sheikh Raed Salah, a leading member of Israel’s now-outlawed Northern Branch of the Islamist Movement, was arrested in August for praising three Arab Israelis who shot dead two police officers near the Temple Mount a month before.
The court rules that Saleh will be eligible to be released to his home tomorrow pending an appeal hearing.
