The Prisoners' Information Office announced on Sunday that the Israeli occupation authorities have extended the detention of the mother of martyr Khairy Alqam, the Palestinian who carried out Al-Quds shooting earlier on Friday, until next Wednesday.

The Israeli measure comes after occupation police sealed yesterday night the house of the martyr following the decisions adopted by the smaller forum of the security cabinet yesterday.

According to Israeli media, the occupation police "evacuated Alqam's family from their home, arrested his family members, and sealed all the house's entrances and doors."

The lawyer of the Wadi Hilweh Information Center, Firas Jabrini, said in press statements that "the [Israeli] intelligence extended their detention until Sunday," noting that his brother Omar is prevented from meeting the lawyer.

Iraq, Lebanon condemn

The head of the Fatah Alliance, Hadi Al-Amiri, condemned the "aggressive acts that the Zionist occupation authorities have consistently committed against the brotherly Palestinian people."

In a statement issued on Saturday, Al-Amiri blamed the Israeli entity and its supporters for the recent developments.

The statement affirmed that "what the brave Palestinians are doing in terms of resistance is a natural and legitimate right of a people whose land was usurped and whose rights were violated by an oppressive entity that persists in its aggression."

On Saturday, the Iraqi Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned the Israeli occupation's storming of the city and camp of Jenin, where nine Palestinians were massacred by Israeli occupation forces, as well as a child in Al-Quds during protests against the massacre.

"The Iraqi Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemns the Zionist occupation's storming on the city and camp of Jenin in Palestine, which resulted in the death and injury of a number of Palestinian citizens," said the Ministry's Spokesperson Ahmad Al-Sahhaf in a statement.

"We renew our firm and principled position on the Palestinian cause, which was and still is a pivotal issue," Al-Sahhaf concluded.

In the same context, the Lebanese Foreign Ministry, said in a statement, "We hold Israel fully responsible for the escalation in the occupied Palestinian territories," expressing solidarity with the Palestinians in their steadfastness and insistence on defending their land by all means available.
