The Palestinian Detainees' Committee has reported, Wednesday, that surgeons in the Hadassah Ein Karem Israeli Hospital, in occupied Jerusalem, have decided to amputate the leg of a wounded, and detained, Palestinian child.
Lawyer Tareq Barghouth of the Detainees’ Committee said that, despite the child's gunshot wound in his right leg, he remain shackled to his hospital bed.
He added that the child, Issa Adnan Abdul-Mo'ty, 13 years of age, was shot with an Israeli dumdum bullet, that expands upon impact, at the northern entrance of the West Bank city of Bethlehem.
He is currently hospitalized at the Hadassah Israeli Medical Center, in Jerusalem.
Barghouth further stated that, although the 'Ofer Israeli military court has decided to release the child on a 7000 New Israeli Shekels bail, on September 29, the military prosecutor filed an appeal to block the release despite his serious injury.
The head of the Detainees' Committee Issa Qaraqe said the child is one of the latest victims of Israel's illegal, immoral and racist policies against the children, especially the recent official approval for the use of sniper fire against Palestinian protesters in Jerusalem.
"What happened to this child is a premeditated crime, and a serious tragedy," he said, “Israel must pay the price for its crimes – must be held accountable in international courts.”

Child, 12 Years Of Age, Kidnapped In Hebron

Israeli authorities will release Palestinian prisoner Mohammad Allan on Nov. 4, a lawyer said Tuesday, alleviating fears that his administrative detention would be renewed again.
Jawad Boulos, the head of the legal unit at the Palestinian Prisoner's Society, told Ma'an News Agency that he visited Allan in Israel's Ramla jail clinic on Tuesday and said an Israeli court has ruled that he be released once his current six-month detention period ends.
Allan still requires medical treatment and suffers from nausea, Boulos said.
Allan was held without charge or trial for seven months before he began a 66-day hunger strike to protest his administrative detention, which he ended after Israeli authorities agreed to suspend his sentence.
However, the sentence was reinstated earlier this month as Allan was attempting to leave the Barzilai Medical Center in Ashkelon.
He immediately began another hunger strike, but suspended it two days later, on Sept. 18, following consultations with his lawyer.
Rights group Amnesty International had warned that the initial suspension of Allan's sentence was based on his medical condition alone and "took no account of the legality of his detention."
Israel's policy of administrative detention, which is almost exclusively used to detain Palestinians, has been strongly criticized by the international community as well as both Israeli and Palestinian rights activists.
According to the Association for Civil Rights in Israel, the majority of prisoners who go on hunger strike are Palestinians in administrative detention.
The Knesset, Israel's parliament, approved a law in July allowing the Israeli Prison Service to force feed hunger strikers if their condition becomes life-threatening, sparking outcry from rights groups and medical experts.

Hunger striking Palestinian administrative detainees in Israeli jails have suspended their hunger strike on Tuesday, after reaching a deal with the Israeli prison service, according to Minister Issa Qaraqe, Chairman of the Prisoners’ Affairs’ Commission.
Qaraqe told WAFA that the suspension of the hunger strike came after the Israeli prison authorities assured the hunger strikers that the administrative detention of two of them - without charge or trial – will not be renewed.
The prison authorities also pledged to mull terminating the administrative detention of the remaining administrative detainees, and to halt the prison administrations’ escalatory measures against them.
The two administrative detainees whose detention without charge or trial will not be renewed are Ghassan Zawahreh and Nedal Abu-Akr.
On August 20, five administrative detainees – Nedal Abu ‘Akr, Shadi Ma‘ali, Ghassan Zawahra, Bader al-Ruzza, and Munir Abu Sharar – started a hunger strike in protest of being jailed by Israel without charge or trial.
On September 21, the Israeli Prison Service (IPS) offered Palestinian hunger strikers to release them if they agree to be expelled abroad as part of its efforts to force them to end their hunger strike. However, the proposal was rejected by all hunger strikers.
Earlier this month, the Prisoners’ Affairs Commission earlier warned of an inevitable outbreak in the situation in Israeli prisons, given Israel’s disregard to the hunger strikers’ healthcare.
Under administrative detention rules, Israel may detain Palestinians without charge or trial and on the basis of secret evidence for up to six months, indefinitely renewable by Israeli military courts.
Many human rights groups have accused Israel of using administrative detention as a routine form of collective punishment against Palestinians, as well as using it when failing to obtain confessions during interrogation.
There are around 500 detainees serving administrative detention in several Israeli jails.
Palestinian detainees have continuously resorted to open-ended hunger strikes as a way to protest their illegal administrative detention and to demand an end to this policy, which violates international law.
