JERUSALEM (Ma'an) -- An Israeli court in Jerusalem ruled, on Thursday, to release 21 Fatah activists under strict conditions.

According to Palestinian Prisoner’s Society (PPS) lawyer, Mufid al-Sheikh, said that the released Fatah activists, who are residents from occupied East Jerusalem, were placed under house arrest for five days and banned from entry to the occupied West Bank for 14 days.
