Jerusalem -- An imprisoned commander of Hamas’s armed wing who is serving 67 life terms has been placed in solitary confinement for speaking to a radio station, Israel’s prisons authority said on Sunday.
Barghouti is a leading commander of the Ezzedine Al Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamist movement which is the de facto ruler of the Gaza Strip. Arrested in 2003 by Israel’s Shin Bet internal security agency, Barghouti was sentenced to 67 life terms by a military court the following year over attacks in the Jewish state that killed 66 and wounded hundreds more. | |
