An Israeli court in Occupied Jerusalem sentenced on Tuesday three Palestinians to house confinement and home-bans.
According to the Wadi Hilweh Information Center, an Israeli jury ruled that youngster Mohamed Ubaid be released on conditions that he be subjected to house arrest, be banned from al-Issawiya village for 10 days, and pay a fine of 3,000 shekels and a third-party fine.
The court also sentenced Ali Abu Ghanam to house confinement, a ban from al-Tur village for one week, and a bail of 1,000 shekels.
Meanwhile, Suleiman Munasra received a house arrest verdict and a one-week ban from al-Issawiya village.
In justice and law, house arrest (also called home confinement, home detention, or, in modern times, electronic monitoring) is a measure by which a person is confined by the authorities to a residence. Travel is usually restricted, if allowed at all. House arrest is an alternative to prison time or juvenile-detention time.
The Israeli occupation authorities use such a police as a measure of repression against anti-occupation youth and children. In such cases, the child under house arrest does not have access to any means of communication and conversations are often monitored.

Israeli occupation authorities decided, on Sunday, to strip four Jerusalemite MPs of their permanent residency, under the pretext of not being loyal to Israel.
Lawyer Fadi al-Qawasmi said that Israeli Interior Minister Aryeh Deri decided to revoke the residency of MPs Mohammed Abu Tir, Ahmad Attoun, and Mohammed Toutah, as well as that of the former Minister of Jerusalem Affairs, Khaled abu-Arafa.
In a statement, Al-Qawasmi said that the decision came after the Knesset approved a new bill, earlier in March, that allows the interior minister to strip any Jerusalemite of their residency rights if they are involved in “terrorism” or “anti-Israel acts”.
According to al-Qawasmi, the Israeli Supreme Court, in mid-September of 2017, overturned a decision to revoke the residency of the Jerusalemite MPs.
However, it decided to give the Israeli government a time limit to enact a law that gives the interior ministry the power to strip any Jerusalemite of residency.
The Palestinian lawyer described the bill as “unfair” and “illegal,” adding that it was applied retroactively. He affirmed that he will return to Israeli courts, to oppose the decision.
Palestinians in East Jerusalem, along with the Druze in the Syrian Golan Heights, are considered “residents” — not citizens — by Israeli authorities.
Revoking their residency, according to the new bill, means expelling them permanently from these territories.
In 2006, Israeli authorities confiscated the ID cards of the four Jerusalemite MPs, after detaining them upon participation in a protest in Occupied Jerusalem. They spent several months in Israeli jails before they were deported to the West Bank.
