Three female prisoners’ detention extended
Picture
The Israeli military court at Ashkelon prison extended on Thursday the detention of three Palestinian female prisoners.

Palestinian woman writer Lama Khater, 42, was remanded in custody for eight more days, the sixth remand since her arrest from her family home in al-Khalil on July 24.

Since her arrest, she has been subjected to tough interrogation that often lasts for 10 hours a day with her hands and feet tied.

Khater, a mother of five children, was detained for her anti-occupation and pro-resistance writings.

The same court also extended the detention of  Sonia Hammouri, a mother of five, , and Saida Badr, a mother of two, for eight days pending investigation.

Hammouri and Badr, both from al-Khalil, were detained on August 14.

IOF kidnaps 3 students from Bethlehem school
Picture
The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) on Thursday rounded up three Palestinian students from their school in the West Bank city of Bethlehem.

The school secretary affirmed that Israeli forces stormed the Saad al-Aas School in Bethlehem’s town of Al-Khader, amid heavy fire of teargas bombs.

The soldiers violently raided the classrooms where they arrested two sixth-graders and a ninth-grader, according to him.

The three students were later taken to Etizon military camp to the south of the city for unknown reasons, he added.

Detainee Continues Hunger Strike For Twelfth Day
Picture
The Palestinian Detainees’ Committee has reported, Thursday, that a detainee is ongoing with a hunger strike for the twelfth consecutive day, demanding to be released due to various health issues.

The committee stated that the detainee, Omar Hashem Ahmad al-Khatib, 60, is from Jabalia, in the northern part of the Gaza Strip.

It said that the Israeli administration in Asqalan has imposed various punitive measures against the detainee, including forcing him in solitary confinement, denying him family visits and access to the canteen for two months.

The Committee also stated that the soldiers invaded his room, and carried out violent searches.

Following his strike, Al-Khatib started suffering from dryness, fatigue, dizziness and difficulties hindering his ability to walk, in addition to his per-existing conditions, including high blood pressure, high cholesterol and inflammation of the spine.

It is worth mentioning that the detainee was taken prisoner on July 20th, 1997, and was sentenced to a life term and additional twenty years in prison, for resisting the occupation, and allegedly for killing an Israeli soldier. Al-Khatib is a married father of four children.

Israeli navy arrests 4 Gaza fisherman, seizes their boats
Picture
Israeli navy forces detained on Thursday four Palestinian fishermen off the Gaza City coast and seized their boats.

Head of Gaza’s Fisherman Union, Nizar Ayyash, told the PIC that Israel’s gunboats opened fire at the fishermen who were sailing in two vessels north of Gaza’s seashore and towed their boats to Ashdod airport.

Ayyash identified the fishermen as Mohamed Ahmed Zayed and his son Tamer, along with Tawfiq al-Sultan and Rafat al-Sultan.

The attack comes just one day after the occupation authorities green-lighted the expansion of the fishing zone for Gaza’s fishermen.

The Israeli occupation navy continues to target Gaza fishermen on a daily basis, violating the ceasefire accord struck in the wake of the 2014 Israeli offensive on the besieged coastal enclave of Gaza.

Abbas claims Rabin's assassin leaves prison 4 times each week
Picture
President Abbas and Yigal Amir

Speaking at PLO central council meeting, PA president charges that Yigal Amir, who gunned down the former Israeli prime minister in 1995, also receives a salary from four individuals.

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas claimed on Wednesday evening that former Israel prime minister Yitzhak Rabin’s assassin, Yigal Amir, is permitted to leave prison four times per week and that he receives financial support from four individuals.

“He leaves four times per week and receives a salary from four different individuals,” Abbas said in a speech delivered at the opening of a Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) central council meeting.

“What is happening in Israel is intolerable. The world has forgotten the apartheid in South Africa and in the United States. We must unite against the Nation-State Law. We were the first to stand against the ‘deal of the century’ and we will continue to resist it until it collapses,” Abbas said in reference to US President Donald Trump’s bid to bring about peace between Israel and the Palestinians, which he has often described as “the ultimate deal.”
 
Abbas went on to praise the efforts of Egypt to implement a short-lived reconciliation accord between Abbas’s Fatah faction and Hamas which was signed at the end of last year.
 
“Egypt is making efforts to bring about reconciliation and we will not agree to anything other than a full reconciliation under one government, one law, one weapon and without militias,” Abbas told his listeners.
 
“There is no state in the Gaza Strip and there won’t be any state without the Gaza Strip. However, Hamas is unprepared to reach a reconciliation and there are those who encourage it not to,” the 82-year-old leader continued.
 
While Abbas attributed blame on Hamas for the breakdown of the accord, Cairo is in the midst of ongoing discussions with the Gaza-ruling terror group’s leaders and heads of other Palestinian factions in the strip.
 
The main subjects of discussion included a calming of tensions with Israel, Palestinian reconciliation and the humanitarian crisis gripping the Gaza Strip.
 
The discussions are to continue throughout Thursday with the declared goal of reaching an agreed-upon position regarding escalating tensions with Israel.
 
Meanwhile, an Israeli official insisted that “there won’t be any real agreement with Hamas without the return of our sons and citizens to their homes and the guarantee of prolonged quiet.”

Egypt has played a critical role in recent months in a bid to broker a lasting ceasefire between Israel and Hamas as tensions threaten to thrust the two warring sides into yet another military conflict.

Al-Arakib Village Demolished For The 132nd Time
Picture
Israeli bulldozers demolished, Thursday, the al-Arakib ‘unrecognized’ Bedouin village, in the Negev, for the 132th consecutive time, and abducted three Palestinians.

Media sources said dozens of officers surrounded the village, before demolishing and removing residential structures and tents, in addition to barns.

They added that the police also abducted Sheikh Siyam at-Touri, and his son Aziz, in addition to Salim Abu Ashraf, for obstructing the work of the officers.

Israeli demolitions of al-Araqib are carried out in the attempt to force the Bedouin population to relocate to government-zoned townships.

Like the 34 other Bedouin villages “unrecognized” by Israel, al-Araqib does not receive any services from the Israeli government, and is constantly subjected to the threats of expulsion and home demolition.

These “unrecognized” villages were established in the Negev soon after the 1948 Arab-Israeli war, following the creation of the state of Israel, when an estimated 750,000 Palestinians were forcibly expelled from their homes and made refugees.

Many Bedouins were forcibly transferred to the village sites during the 17-year period when Palestinians inside Israel were governed under Israeli military law, which ended shortly before Israel’s military takeover of Gaza and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, in 1967.

Now, more than 60 years later, the Bedouin villages have yet to be legally recognized by Israel and live under constant threat of demolition and forcible removal.

PPS: “Israeli Soldiers Abduct 13 Palestinians In The West Bank”
Picture
The Palestinian Prisoners’ Society (PPS) has reported that Israeli soldiers abducted, on Thursday at dawn, thirteen Palestinians, including three children and one woman, from several parts of the occupied West Bank.

The soldiers invaded and violently searched dozens of homes, and interrogated many Palestinians while inspecting their ID cards.

One of the abducted Palestinians, identified as Tha’er al-Fakhouri, was preparing for his wedding, which was scheduled for this coming Friday.

Two of the abducted are siblings, only 12 and 14 years of age.

The soldiers also installed several roadblocks across the West Bank, stopped and searched many cars and questioned many Palestinians while inspecting their ID cards.

The abducted Palestinians have been identified as:

1. Nisreen Dweikat – Jerusalem.
2. Mohammad Ahmad Obeid – Jerusalem.
3. Tha’er al-Fakhouri – Jerusalem.
4. Abdul-Fattah al-Fakhouri – Jerusalem. (Tha’er’s brother)

10. Hazem Ibrahim Issa, 14 – Bethlehem.
11. Ibrahim Nasser al-Wreidan – Bethlehem.
12. Abdullah Omar Hajahja – Jericho.

Picture
The Palestinian Detainees’ Committee has reported that undercover soldiers of the Israeli Prison Authority attacked, Thursday, several Palestinian detainees in Galboa’ prison.

The committee added that the attack took place in Section 3 of Galboa, when dozens of soldiers invaded it, and conducted violent searches of the detainees are their rooms.

The soldiers were also deliberately throwing away property owned by the detainees, including their clothes, an issue that led to further tension.

The attack is part of repeated and serious Israeli violations and assaults against the detainees, who are already facing very difficult conditions, and deprived from basic rights.

Humiliating Shin Bet interrogation of 2 American leftists

Iranian-American writer Reza Aslan

Shin Bet, Israel's internal security agency, detained Iranian-American writer, Reza Aslan, as he was entering Israel through Jordan, with his family.

Reza Aslan, 46, took to his Twitter account, where he said that the Shin Bet used police state tactics against him and his family.

Aslan arrived in Israel with his wife, children, and in-laws after a visit to Jordan. Upon his arrival, he was separated from his family at the border and detained by the Shin Bet, which repeatedly threatened him .

He wrote in his Twitter post that the Shin Bet interrogator threatened him by repeatedly saying "we can make it so you don't see your kids for a long time."

Aslan mentioned that "the police state part began in earnest: Write down names of journalists you associate with. Write down names of Palestinian organizations you support."

According to Aslan, he tried to cooperate as best as he could, but was accused of lying after answering each question.

The Shin Bet interrogator warned Aslan not to enter the Palestinian territories, not to meet with or speak to any Palestinians or any Israeli troublemakers and warned him by saying that "we are watching you," Aslan wrote.

Aslan concluded his tweets by saying that "this was my 4th trip to Israel in ten years and every time it's gotten worse. It's becoming unrecognizable as a democracy. It is becoming a full-blown police state."

Aslan's tweets were triggered when American-Jewish journalist and commentator, Peter Beinart, 47, was also detained by the Israeli Shin Bet at Ben Gurion Israeli airport and interrogated about his political views and involvement in political activities that threaten democracy or promote violence.

Beinart, who considers himself a supporter of Israel, has publicly criticized the Israeli government's policies toward the Palestinian people and its close alliance with United States President Donald Trump.

Following his interrogation, Beinart said in a statement "my hope would be that this provokes a conversation more generally about the way in which Israel harasses people based on their political views. The real scandal is what happens to people who are much more vulnerable than me because they don't have the privilege that I have as an American Jew."

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office released a statement saying that upon learning of Beinart's detention, he immediately asked Shin Bet officials about what happened and labeled it as an "administrative mistake."

The Shin Bet later apologized for causing any distress saying that it was investigating the incident.


Netanyahu's office mentioned that "Israel is an open society which welcomes all—critics and supporters alike. Israel is the only country in the Middle East where people voice their opinions freely and robustly."

This statement contradicts the newly approved controversial Nationality Law, that Netanyahu showed full support for, in which the law enshrines the status of the State of Israel as the nation state of the Jewish people. Hence, non-Jewish citizens of Israel are already classified as "second class" citizens.

The pictures below show Aslan's tweets regarding the issue:

Association condemns Israel's arrest of businessman at Erez
Picture
Palestinian Businessmen Association in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday condemned the Israeli authorities' arrest of the former board member Bassam Abu Shari'a while he was travelling through Beit Hanoun (Erez) crossing.

Head of the Association, Ali al-Hayek, in a press statement denounced Israel's arbitrary arrest policy targeting Palestinian merchants and businessmen at Beit Hanoun crossing, north of Gaza.

Al-Hayek said that this policy is part of a plan to tighten the blockade on Gaza and destroy what is left of its economy.

He explained that Gaza merchants and businessmen are rarely allowed to travel via Beit Hanoun crossing, pointing out that their journeys are usually accompanied by harassment or arbitrary search and arrest under flimsy security pretexts.

He called on the Palestinian Authority and human rights organizations to pressure Israel to end this policy and immediately release all businessmen and merchants it is detaining.

Picture
Israeli police on Wednesday ruled for banning ten Palestinian women from al-Aqsa Mosque, in Occupied Jerusalem, for 15 days.

The ten women were arrested by Israeli forces at the main entrance to al-Aqsa Mosque before they were dragged to the Qishleh detention center, where they received the ban orders.

Palestinian woman Muntaha Amara said she was detained along with nine other women, before they were released and ordered to stay away from al-Aqsa and pay a bail.

Israeli court extends detention of Palestinian journalist
Picture
Palestinian Prisoner Society (PPS) on Wednesday said that Israel's Ofer military court has decided to extend the detention of the Palestinian journalist Alaa al-Rimawi until 19th August.

A PPS lawyer said that the court's decision followed an earlier decision to extend al-Rimawi's detention for seven days.

Israeli occupation forces on 30th July arrested al-Rimawi along with four other journalists who were released later.

Since July 2018, Israeli occupation forces have launched a large-scale arrest campaign targeting Palestinian journalists in the West Bank. About nine journalists have been arrested, including Ali Dar Ali who was kidnapped from his house at dawn Wednesday in Ramallah.

6 Palestinian women arrested by Israeli police at al-Aqsa Mosque
Picture
Israeli police detained on Wednesday six Palestinian women on their way out of al-Aqsa Mosque, the third holiest site in Islam, and dragged them to a police station in Jerusalem’s Old City.

The women are all from territories occupied in 1948. No reason was given for their arbitrary abduction.

3 Palestinians continue their hunger strikes in Israeli jails
Picture
Three Palestinian prisoners have been on open-ended hunger strikes in Israeli jails to protest arbitrary detention.

Abbas Abu Alya, Sadam Awad, and Khaled Batat continue their hunger strikes in response to being held administratively, with neither charge nor trial, in Israeli lock-ups.

A lawyer from the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society (PPS) said following a visit to prisoner Abu Alya in Ofer lock-up that the latter vowed to continue his hunger strike until the end of his administrative term, on August 16.

Alyan has been incarcerated in Israeli jails since June 19, 2017. He started his hunger strike on August 12.

Ebtahal, from Beit Kahel town west of al-Khalil, was arrested after being summoned for investigation only one day after being brutally attacked by an Israeli settler while leaving her university.

Around 6000 Palestinian prisoners are currently held in Israeli prisons. Of this figure, 53 are female with 3 girls under the age of 18.

Israeli Soldiers Abduct Six Palestinians In Tubas And Jenin
Picture
Israeli soldiers abducted, on Wednesday at dawn, six Palestinians, from their homes in Jenin, in northern West Bank, and in Tubas, in northeastern West Bank, the Palestinian Prisoners’ Society (PPS) has reported.

The PPS office in Tubas said the soldiers invaded and searched several homes, and abducted Omar Hamza Daraghma and Ibrahim Sameeh Sawafta, from Tubs city, in addition to Islam Abdullah Tubasi, from Tammoun town, south of Jenin.

In addition, the soldiers abducted Amjad Abdul-Jabbar Jarrar, Mo’taz al-Hourani Abu Zeid and Aysar al-Jalbouni, from their homes in the al-Marah neighborhood, in Jenin city.

The soldiers also invaded Azzoun town, east of the northern West Bank city of Qalqilia, and searched several homes, including the home of a former political prisoner, identified as Aseed Yasser Salim.

Furthermore, the soldiers installed roadblocks at the entrances of the Zawiya and Masha villages, west of Salfit city in northeastern West Bank, before stopping and searching dozens of cars, and interrogated many Palestinians while inspecting their ID cards.

The soldiers imposed severe restrictions on the Palestinians, and prevented them from entering or leaving two villages, leading a huge traffic jam, before later reopening the roads.

In the Gaza Strip, Israeli navy ship ships opened fire at several fishing boats, in the allotted fishing zone, in Palestinian territorial waters, in northern Gaza. The fishermen had to sail back in fear of further escalation.

Israeli Soldiers Abduct A Palestinian Journalist In Ramallah
Picture
Dozens of Israeli soldiers invaded, on Wednesday at dawn, Borham village, northwest of the central West Bank city of Ramallah, and abducted a prominent Palestinian journalist, a correspondent with Palestine TV.

The Palestinian TV has reported that the soldiers invaded the home of its “military correspondent,” Ali Dar Ali, and violently searched the property before abducting him.

It is worth mentioning that Ali is a well-known journalist in Palestine, especially due to his constant reports from the field, and was frequently assaulted by the soldiers who repeatedly attempted to stop him.

His abduction is part of escalating Israeli violations against Palestinian journalists and media outlets in the occupied West Bank.

Israeli soldiers carried out 31 violations against the journalists in July alone, and arrested several reporters.

Just two weeks ago, the soldiers abducted four Palestinian journalists in the occupied West Bank. There were among 520 Palestinians, abducted by the army in July.
