(Ynet News) Yifat Erlich - A 50-year-old Palestinian from Hebron in the West Bank, who converted to Judaism in Israel three weeks ago at a strict Haredi court, was arrested by Palestinian Authority security forces over two weeks ago while meeting with one of his children in PA territory and has been held in custody ever since.
