HEBRON (Ma'an) -- An Israeli military court renewed the administrative detention of a Palestinian lawmaker for the third time on Friday, a Hamas-affiliated news site reported.

Khalil al- Rabai, an MP with Hamas' Change and Reform Bloc, has been held without charge since he was detained on Dec. 30, 2010, the Palestine Information Center said.

The court gave the parliamentarian a further six month's imprisonment, the report noted.

Hamas warned that Israeli administrative detention aimed to cripple the parliamentary life and leadership of Palestinians.

Israeli authorities also renewed the detention of a 70-year-old lecturer at Nablus' Al-Najah National University on Friday. Yousif Abdul-Haq was detained on October 7, 2011 from his home in Nablus.

Over 300 Palestinians are held in administrative detention in Israeli prisons, using laws dating back to the British Mandate period. Some 27 Palestinian lawmakers are in jail, 24 of them held without charge, according to latest figures from prisoners group Addameer.
