Local youth Faris Abu Nab was sentenced to house arrest in the Magistrates Court on Wednesday, 22 February, after he was arrested two days prior under accusation of participating in clashes with Israeli troops.

Nab was beaten and shocked with a tazer gun by Israeli forces on the evening of 20 February when he was arrested in Ras al-Amoud. The youngster was also forced to pay a 1,000 NIS bail to secure his “release” to house arrest.
