JERUSALEM (Ma'an) -- A Palestinian Authority court sentenced a woman from Bethlehem to 10 years hard labor on Thursday for treason.

The court also ordered the 25-year-old to pay a fine of 10,000 Jordanian dinars ($14,120), the Supreme Judicial Council said in a statement.

The council said the woman had given information about Palestinian youth in Jenin to Israeli intelligence officers for three years. She started giving Israel information after she was detained by Israeli forces at Qalandia checkpoint, the council said.

On Jan. 11, a military court in Gaza sentenced a 48-year-old man to death on charges of collaboration and conspiracy to murder. The sentence was condemned by rights groups and the European Union.
