JERUSALEM

An Israeli court on Friday ordered the parole of an icon of imprisoned Palestinian resistance, Raed Salah, according to her lawyer.

"The decision was made at a hearing today before the Israeli Judiciary Court in Haifa, in the north of the country," said lawyer Khaled Zbarqa at the Anadolu agency.

"This is the second time in the last 24 hours that the court held a hearing [in Salah’s case]," Zabrqa said.

"On Thursday, the court approved the release of Salah [conditional] but the movement was delayed after the prosecutors challenged the decision," he added.

According to Friday's court decision, Salah will remain under house arrest in Kafr Kanna, an Arab city in northern Israel.

Salah will face additional restrictions, including a ban on communicating with the public or the media, his lawyer said.

In March, the court of first instance approved Salah's parole, but the decision was quashed following an appeal by the Crown.

The conditions imposed on the release of Salah include the ban on entering his hometown of Umm al-Fahm in northern Israel, as well as additional restrictions on his movement.

Last summer, Israeli police arrested Salah, the leader of the Islamic movement in Israel, before condemning him for "inciting violence" and throwing him into solitary confinement.

In February, a court in the city of Beersheba, in the south of the country, slapped the icon of resistance with six more months in isolation.
