After two years of house arrest... Jerusalemite Raeda Saeed turns herself in to occupation to serve a year in prison

Jerusalemite Raeda Saeed turned herself in to the Israeli occupation authorities on Thursday to begin serving a one-year prison sentence, after nearly two years of house arrest and legal prosecution. She was arrested in 2023 and released under conditions, and was convicted of incitement at the end of 2025.

Jerusalemite Raeda Saeed turned herself in to the Israeli occupation authorities on Thursday to begin serving an actual one-year prison sentence, after nearly two years of house arrest and legal prosecution. Occupation forces had arrested Saeed in 2023 for eight days, before releasing her under the condition of house arrest, which lasted nearly two years. During this period, she underwent continuous court sessions, before the occupation court issued a verdict at the end of 2025 sentencing her to one year in prison, after convicting her of incitement, according to local sources. Local sources reported that occupation authorities transferred Saeed to Damon Prison after she turned herself in. During the house arrest period, occupation authorities eased the restrictions from full house arrest to partial, while continuing to impose strict measures on her life and movement. Saeed's case comes amid escalating arrest, deportation, and house arrest measures against Jerusalemites, with the Jerusalem Governorate documenting 357 arrests and 73 deportation orders, mostly from the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, and 10 forced house arrest orders, during the third quarter of 2026. The governorate also recorded the arrest of 102 Palestinians in Jerusalem in October alone, including six women and three children.
