Nablus –
Ma’an – An Israeli court in Jerusalem sentenced the head of the militant wing of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) to life in prison on Sunday.
Saed Abu Hnish, 29, was accused of planning a suicide attack at an illegal Israeli settlement in the West Bank that killed an Israeli woman and three of her children in 2002.
The court also ordered the Palestinian, who served as the head of the PFLP's Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades, to pay 60 million shekels in compensation to the Israeli family residing in the settlement of Itmar, near the city of Nablus.
Hnish was sentenced to life at the Ramon prison in the Israeli town of Nafha.
A spokesperson for defendant, who is from Beit Dajan in the northern West Bank, told Ma'an that Hnish holds a bachelor's in political science from An-Najah National University in Nablus.
The attack on the settlement occurred on 20 June 2002, when a Palestinian entered the area and hid in one of the houses before clashing with Israeli troops and settlers, which lead to the deaths of four Israelis and the attacker.
Hnish was also accused of participating in and planning other attacks against Israeli targets.
Hnish had recently fled an assassination attempt that left him moderately injured. Israeli troops also demolished his three-floor home and arrested his two brothers, George, 19, and Foad, 22.
