Israel extends detention of injured Palestinian prisoner

The Palestinian Prisoners and Former Prisoners' Affairs Committee said that Jabbarin is currently held at the al-Ramla hospital.

AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): The Palestinian Prisoners and Former Prisoners' Affairs Committee said that Jabbarin is currently held at the al-Ramla hospital.

Jabbarin, from Yatta City in the southern West Bank district of Hebron, was shot and injured with five bullets by Israeli forces, 3 of which hit him in his left arm, shoulder and armpit, one in his pelvis and another in his leg, after he carried out a stabbing attack near the Gush Etzion settlement junction, north of Hebron, on September 16th.

The committee said that Jabbarin's detention was extended for further interrogation.

A number of Palestinians have been arrested, shot, or killed by Israeli forces for allegedly attempting to carry out attacks or being in possession of a knife at the Gush Etzion junction.

Though Israeli forces have claimed that Palestinians were allegedly attempting to carry out attacks in a majority of instances when Palestinians were killed, rights groups have disputed Israel's version of events in a number of cases, and argued that many alleged attackers could have been subdued in a non-lethal manner.
