Israel jails Palestinian youth for 16 years over alleged stabbing attack
An Israeli court has handed down a 16-year prison sentence to a Palestinian youth over an alleged stabbing attack that left an Israeli injured.
The Israeli ministry of judicial affairs said on Wednesday that 21-year-old Mohammed Bader, from the West Bank town of Abu Dis, was accused of stabbing an Israeli in East Jerusalem al-Quds on May 16 as he was walking with his family.
Bader also pleaded guilty to attempted murder under a plea bargain.
On Monday, another Israeli court sentenced a Palestinian to life in prison for what was said to be the killing of two Israelis and the wounding of a third in Tel Aviv with a knife back in 2015.
In a separate case on the same day, judges also jailed another Palestinian citizen for 16 years and six months, AFP reported without saying what he was found guilty of.
The occupied Palestinian territories have witnessed tensions ever since Israel imposed restrictions on the entry of Palestinian worshipers into the al-Aqsa Mosque compound in East Jerusalem al-Quds in August 2015.
Over 260 Palestinians have lost their lives at the hands of Israeli forces in the tensions since the beginning of October last year.
Recently, the Tel Aviv regime has handed down harsh sentences to the Palestinians purportedly convicted of stabbing attacks.
