Jerusalem (IINA) - An imprisoned commander of Hamas’ 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 Sunday.
Abdallah Barghouti gave an interview to Hamas radio using a mobile telephone “smuggled into the prison where he is being held, and has been placed in an isolation cell,” said spokeswoman Sivan Weizman. The duration of his stay in solitary confinement has yet to be determined, she added. Barghouti is a leading commander of the Ezzedine Al-Qassam Brigades. 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, AFP reported.
