AL-KHALIL, (PIC)-- The Israeli occupation authorities extended, on Thursday, the administrative detention of two brothers from the southern West Bank city of al-Khalil for the third time running.

Sources from the family of Adeeb and Shafiq Qawasmeh, who are detained in the Negev desert prison, told PIC that the occupation authorities informed them of the extension of their administrative detention a further four months for the third time running.

The sources said that the two brothers were arrested on 21 August 2011, during a broad campaign against Hamas supporters in al-Khalil district. A third brother of the two captives and their father are also captives in occupation jails. One of their brothers was killed by the occupation.
