Israeli Soldier Sentenced to Two Whoooole Weeks in Prison for Shooting Palestinian !

The Palestinian man was visiting from Algeria. So he probably innocently thought that he can "talk" to the soldiers at a checkpoint. The poor guy made a comment. He got bullets in the tummy to teach him a lesson (if he lives):

"The details of the incident collected by B'Tselem suggest that the soldier pushed Yasin in response to his comment, and Yasin pushed the soldier back. The soldier then hit Yasin, and two other soldiers joined the fracas, trying to grab Yasin, and hit him, while Yasin tried resisting. At some point the soldiers fired in the air and on the ground. Even after Yasin fell to the ground, they grabbed and threw him against the cement blocks used to make a roadblock. He was cuffed and the soldiers continued to hit and kick him."

Now, what I want to know is this: do the two weeks include weekends or not?
