Israel jails writer Ahmad Qatamesh without charges — On Wednesday, Israel placed Qatamesh under administrative detention, a practice in which Palestinians are jailed on "secret evidence" without charges or a trial.

Here is an Israeli source and their side of this:

According to the Shin Bet security agency, Ahmad Qatamesh was arrested in the city of el-Bireh and taken in for interrogation on the basis of his alleged membership in the PFLP. (PFLP is designated as a terror group.)

Qatamesh, who is also a writer, was previously held in an Israeli prison in the 1990s for over five years without trial over his ties to the PFLP. At the time of his release, he was the longest-serving Palestinian prisoner to be held in so-called administrative detention.

He was also rearrested in 2011 and held again without charge for over two years.

Seven years in prison already without trial. I hope there's some evidence this time. Even if everything Israel says is true, it's still very sloppy intelligence work and incompetence to not have any evidence after multiple arrests and years of detaining someone. If they want to maintain the public's trust then they need something other than prison cells.
