Islamic Movement chief to serve 11-month prison sentence

Raed Salah, head of the northern branch of the Islamic Movement in Israel, will serve his 11-month prison sentence, the Jerusalem district court ruled Tuesday, rejecting his appeal.
About two weeks ago, Salah attempted to fly to Turkey for a conference, but was stopped by airport security, who informed him that a warrant was in effect that forbade him from leaving the country.
During the current terrorism wave, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that he intends to take harsher measures in combating the Islamic Movement, claiming it was responsible for the incitement that led to the wave's beginning.
