Israel sentences 15-year-old child to 6 years in jail

PIC reported:

An Israeli court on Sunday sentenced a 15-year-old Palestinian child for six years and a half in jail and a fine of 26,000 shekels on allegations of carrying out an anti-occupation stabbing.

The Israeli court issued the sentence against Mu’awya Alkam, 15, on charges that he attempted to stab an Israeli security guard.

A court hearing is expected to be held on July 17 to validate the sentence.

Both Mu’awya and Ali Alkam were kidnapped by the Israeli occupation forces after they were shot by an Israeli guard in the occupied al-Quds ('Jerusalem').

Ali was hit with three bullets and sustained critical wounds following the shooting.
