The court also ordered Tareq Al-Araj to pay a fine of 4,000 shekels ($1,145).
According to Asra Media, occupation forces kidnapped Al-Araj, a national youth football player and a member of the Jenin Sports Club, on September 5, 2020, at a makeshift checkpoint near Jenin City, and then took him for interrogation to the Petah Tikva detention center where he stayed for about one and a half months.
The four-year prison sentence was issued after his trial was postponed more than 17 times.
He was given the jail term for being a member of a “banned” group and participating in resistance activities against the Israeli occupation.
