Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Rishon Lezion Magistrate’s Court extends the remand of firebrand Muslim cleric Sheikh Raed Salah, arrested overnight Monday, for four more days, till August 21.
Salah, from the Israeli city of Umm al-Fahm, was arrested on suspicion of incitement to violence and terror, as well as supporting and being active in a banned organization — the Northern Branch of the Islamic Movement, which he heads.
