Bethlehem's public prosecutor on Wednesday ordered the detention of three Palestinians accused of renting land to settlers.

Three people are accused of allegedly renting land to settlers near the Gush Etzion settlement bloc to celebrate the Jewish holiday of Sukkot

The land was used to set up tents and perform religious rituals for the Jewish holiday.

The suspects were arrested and are due to go to trial for violating a 2010 anti-settlement products law.
