The law passed in Israel with the provision of imprisonment for children!

The Dhaka Times Desk In the future, the Israeli parliament has passed such a law that if there is evidence of the involvement of a child under the age of 14 in a terrorist act, he can be jailed and fined by the court.

The Times of India reported that 32 members of the Knesset, Israel's legislative body, voted in favor of the so-called 'Youth Bill' last Wednesday. 16 voted against and one member abstained from voting.

Due to the passage of the new law, the courts will be able to sentence children as young as 12 years old for murder, attempted murder or terrorist acts.

MK Anat Berku, a member of the ruling right-wing Likud party, which introduced the bill, said, "If someone deliberately stabs someone to death, it doesn't matter if they are 12 or 15."

He also said, 'In Israel, 11-year-old children are also seen committing suicide bombings. This new law could prevent the use of children in genocide.'

It should be noted that in 2015, Israel passed another law with a maximum prison sentence of 20 years. According to the law, anyone who throws bricks at a moving vehicle with the intention of causing damage can be jailed for a maximum of 20 years. However, even if the fact of causing damage is not proven, the court can sentence the brick-stone thrower to 10 years imprisonment.
