Knesset Passes Law Allowing Imprisonment of Terrorists Under Age 14

In a vote of 55 to 33 – out of 120 – the Knesset voted final passage on a new law that will allow courts to sentence terrorists under the age of 14 to prison. Terrorists between the ages of 12-14 who are sentenced to prison for acts of murder will remain in a locked residence until they are transferred to prison at the age of 14.

Also, it was proposed that said minor poses a danger or harms others – it will be possible to order his transfer to detention for fixed periods.
