JERUSALEM, December 18, 2017 (WAFA) – Israeli court Monday extended the detention of three Palestinians from Jerusalem, including two women, who were detained during protests against the US decision over Jerusalem. 

Head of the committee of Jerusalemites prisoners’ families Amjad Abu Asab said that the Israeli court have decided to release the two Palestinian women, Rifqa Qawasmi and Rihan Odeh, who were detained for protesting US President Donald Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital on Thursday.

He said the prosecution has decided to appeal the decision and extend their detention.

Meanwhile, the court extended the detention of Musa al-Qadmani until next Wednesday.

Al-Qadmani was detained last week after he was hit with a bullet in his thigh and spent few days in the hospital before he was transferred to the Russian Compound interrogation center in West Jerusalem.
