Zionist regime has imprisoned two Palestinians for their refusal to obey a military expulsion order from their hometown.

According to Press TV, the two men were banished from the occupied East al-Quds for unspecified security concerns.

One of the jailed Palestinians is a freelance journalist and the other is a construction worker with a wife and three young children.

Palestinian rights groups have slammed the move as collective punishment in breach of international law.

Military expulsions are among Tel Aviv’s punitive measures. Seven Palestinians received such orders in 2015.
