Israeli court rejects appeal to reduce sentence of Palestinian child prisoner

TEL AVIV, 25-5-2025 (WAFA) – The Israeli occupation court has rejected the appeal submitted to reduce the sentence of 14-year-old Palestinian child prisoner Mohammed Al-Zalbani from Jerusalem.

In a statement released Sunday evening, the Jerusalem Governorate noted that the court also declined to credit the two years Al-Zalbani has already served in Israeli detention toward his overall 18-year sentence. Additionally, the court denied any reduction of the 250,000 shekel fine imposed on him.

Al-Zalbani, from the Shuafat refugee camp in occupied Jerusalem, was detained by the Israeli occupation forces on February 13, 2023.

At the end of 2023, Israeli forces demolished the family home of Mohammed Al-Zalbani in Shuafat.
