Palestinians sentenced to prison for attacks
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA court has sentenced two Palestinian minors from the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Shuafat to 11 years in prison each over a stabbing attack near the Old City of Jerusalem that took place in January.
The two attacked a group of Jews walking near the Damascus Gate and lightly injured one person.
They are also ordered to pay NIS 50,000 in damages.
Earlier, a court also sentenced Asra Jabas, 31, to 11 years in prison for an attack last year in which she tried to attack a checkpoint in the West Bank.
In October 2015 Jabas approached officers guarding a checkpoint near Maale Adumim and yelled “Allahu Akbar” and blew up a gas balloon in her car. An officer was injured in the attack.
