Gaza: Red Cross facilitates prison visits for 50 relatives
Picture
Several Palestinian families from the besieged Gaza Strip were able on Monday to visit their relatives in an Israeli jail.

Red Cross spokeswoman Amani al-Na’ouq told the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) that the committee facilitated the trip from Gaza to Nafha jail for 50 members of families, including 13 children, through the Beit Hanoun (Erez) border crossing.

Every once in a while, the Israeli occupation authority allows, through the Red Cross, a few members of families from Gaza to visit their relatives in jails and bans many others from seeing their relatives for unexplained security reasons.

A total of 380 men whose families are from the Gaza Strip are detained in Israeli prisons.

Settlers Demolish Palestinian Homes Built on Church Grounds Despite Court Order
Picture

Israeli settlers, escorting a bulldozer, on Monday, demolished two Palestinian homes at Beit al-Baraka church compound at the Hebron-Jerusalem road, despite the presence of a court order allowing the owners to stay in their homes, according to the owner of the two homes, Ahmad Samara.

He told WAFA that scores of settlers from several hardcore illegal settlements, including Kiryat Arba, north of Hebron, and protected by Israeli forces, escorted a bulldozer into Beit al-Baraka church compound and proceeded to demolished the two homes where he and his family had lived for over 40 years.

Samara said that when the family attempted to stop the demolition and to show the army the Israeli court order that allows it stay in the homes, the soldiers and settlers assaulted him and his family, threw them out of their homes and detained his daughter, Asmaa, 32.

“I have lived in these two homes for over 40 years. I have an ]Israeli[ court ruling preventing settlers from bothering us and allowing me and my family to continue to live in the homes,” said Samara. “We have no where to go now.”

He said the settlers and soldiers ransacked his homes and prevented him from removing his belongings before they carried out the demolition at gun point.

Beit al-Baraka, meaning “House of Blessing”, built 70 years ago, is a 38-dunam (9.5-acre) church compound located on the main road between Bethlehem and Hebron, opposite to Arroub refugee camp. It used to serve as a hospital providing free treatment to people suffering from tuberculosis until it was shut down in 1983.

Jewish settlers later bought the compound from the church, through a fake company.

Israeli settlers, along with Israeli forces, assaulted Palestinian residents of the al-Muarrajat Bedouin village, northeast of the occupied West Bank district of Ramallah on Monday.

Locals said that armed Israeli settlers stormed the Bedouin village under heavy protection by Israeli forces.

Sources added that Israeli forces assaulted residents, some Israeli solidarity activists and the staff members of the Wall and Settlement Resistance Committee, who were present in the area.

Following the assault, Israeli forces detained six Palestinian residents.

Sources mentioned that Israeli forces prevented the rest of the Wall and Settlement Resistance Committee staff and other Israeli activists from reaching the Bedouin village of al-Muarrajat.

Many Palestinians have pointed out that Israeli settler attacks against the Palestinian community are very common and often go unpunished by the Israeli authorities.

Only 1.9 percent of complaints submitted by Palestinians against Israeli settler attacks result in a conviction, the Israeli human rights group Yesh Din reported.

In Jerusalem, the soldiers abducted Susan Abu Ghannam, the mother of Mohammad Abu Ghannam, 20, who was killed by Israeli soldiers on July 21st, 2017.

In Bethlehem, the soldiers invaded the Saff Street, in the center of the city, and summoned Maher Omar Ziyada, 22, from interrogation in Etzion military base and security center, south of Bethlehem.

In addition, the army also invaded and searched homes in Tulkarem refugee camp, in the northern West Bank city of Tulkarem, and abducted Ala’ Rafiq Damiri, 38.

Israel deports activists of newly-seized Freedom Flotilla ship
Picture
Israeli occupation authorities on Sunday began the deportation process of the 12 international activists who were on the second vessel of Freedom Flotilla 5 sent to the Gaza Strip in 2018.

Head of the International Committee for Breaking the Siege on Gaza Zaher Birawi said that the Israeli navy intercepted the vessel and seized it as it was heading to Gaza shore at dawn Saturday.

According to Birawi, some activists refuse to leave and sign papers that include a vow not to try to enter Gaza again, which means that they might face trial.

The flotilla had on board 12 international activists, most of whom are Swedish, including a crew from the London-based Press TV channel.

Last week, the Israeli navy attacked another anti-siege vessel called al-Awda (Return) and detained all those on board.

Freedom Flotilla 5 set off in mid-May from Norway and Sweden and passed by a number of European ports during its journey to the Gaza Strip.

The Gaza Strip has been living under a crippling blockade for over 12 years with all border crossings connecting the enclave with the outside world closed. They might be partially opened in exceptional cases for the entry of goods and passengers.

Israeli forces detain 6 Jerusalemites in East Jerusalem cemetery
Picture
Six Jerusalemites were detained by Israeli forces, who escorted Israeli settlers to the Palestinian cemetery of Bab al-Rahma, to perform Jewish religious prayers on Sunday in occupied East Jerusalem.

The Wadi Hilweh Information Center said in statement that Israeli forces raided the Bab al-Rahma cemetery, wall-to-wall with the Al-Aqsa Mosque of its eastern side, and detained six Jerusalemites. video

The six detainees were identified as the director of Wadi Hilweh Information Center, Jawad Siyam, Khaled al-Zayer, Muhammad Odeh, Iyad Jaber, Asaad Kashaam, and Mutasem Khalayla.

The detainees were immediately taken in for interrogation.

The center added that following the interrogation, Jawad Siyam was released and explained that two female Israeli settlers raided the cemetery and began to perform religious prayers under the protection of Israeli forces.

Siyam added that while Israeli forces provided protection to Israeli settlers, who performed prayers among Palestinian graves, they had verbally assaulted the Jerusalemites before detaining them.

Siyam pointed out that two of the detainees, al-Zayer and Jaber, were kept at the police station in the Old City of Jerusalem for further investigation, while the other detainees were released immediately. 

The center stressed that Israeli settlers raid the Bab al-Rahma cemetery daily to perform religious prayers among the graves. Recently, groups of Israeli settlers purposely broke several graves while performing prayers in the cemetery under the protection of Israeli forces.

In May, Israeli authorities placed metal fences around the parts of the cemetery that it intends on confiscating. Parts of the cemetery, which are subjected to confiscation and destruction, contain the centuries-old graves of Muslim leaders.

While Israel annexed East Jerusalem in 1980, according to Palestinians and the international community, the city has remained an intricate part of the occupied Palestinian territory and would be considered the capital of any future Palestinian state as part of a two-state solution.

The fate of Jerusalem and its holy sites has been a focal point of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict for decades, with numerous tensions arising over Israeli threats regarding the status of non-Jewish religious sites in the city, and the "Judaization" of East Jerusalem.

Administrative detention orders issued against 49 Palestinians
Picture
The Israeli authorities recently issued administrative detention orders against 49 Palestinians, including a minor, the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society (PPS) said on Sunday.

PPS attorney Mahmoud Halabi said 20 of the 49 detainees received renewed administrative detention orders, whereas the rest received an order for the first time.

The detention of seventeen-year-old Layth Abu Khermah, who was detained on September 20, 2017, was also renewed for another three months.

The sentences ranged in time between three to six renewable months.

Israel’s widely condemned policy of administrative detention allows detention of Palestinians without charge or trial for renewable intervals usually ranging between three and six months based on undisclosed evidence that even a detainee’s lawyer is barred from viewing.

At least 6,500 Palestinians are locked up in Israeli penitentiaries, among them 350 children, six minor girls, nine MPs, and 700 sick detainees.

According to Palestinian Prisoner’s Society (PPS), Israeli forces detained three Palestinians in the southern West Bank district of Bethlehem. They were identified as Fawzi Jalal Motawe, 18, Bahaa Muhammad Shakarna, and Fadi Fathal Najahra.

In the central West Bank district of Jerusalem, PPS confirmed the detention of Suzan Ismail Abu Ghannam, who is the mother of killed Palestinian, Muhammad Hassan Abu Ghannam. Prior to the detention, Israeli forces raided and searched Ghannam’s home and confiscated a large amount of her money.

In the central West Bank district of Ramallah, Israeli forces detained seven Palestinians. They were identified as Nadim SamirFarhat, Raed Muhammad Nader, Nadim Hosny al-Barghouthi.

Among the seven detainees were four minors, who were identified as Hassan Samer Tanatra, Yaman Mustafaa Tanatra, Yazid Muhammad Tanatra, and Waed Tanatra.

Following the detentions, clashes erupted among Israeli forces and Palestinian youths, in which a Palestinian was wounded. However, his identity remained unknown.

In the northern West Bank district of Nablus, one Palestinian was detained and identified as Yasin Wirad al-Khatib.

In addition, Israeli forces detained at least 21 Palestinians within the past two days throughout the West Bank, mainly from Jerusalem.

According to prisoners rights group Addameer, there are 5,900 Palestinian prisoners being held in Israeli prisons, of whom 60 are female prisoners.
