An Israeli army officer has threatened a Palestinian family to kill one of its sons during a recent raid on its home in Madama village, south of Nablus, if he did not renounce his political activities, according to Ahrar center for prisoner studies and human rights.
The family told the center that more than 20 soldiers and officers stormed and ransacked their house at two o'clock after midnight on the eighth of December and confiscated personal belongings before kidnapping its 23-year-old son Asadullah Wajih.
The father reported that the soldiers detained all members of the family for a while in one of the rooms before one of their senior officers started to interrogate them.
He said that the officer clearly threatened that he would behead his son Mahmoud Wajih, the brother of Asadullah, and ruin the future of all his sons if they did not quit their involvement in political activities.
In this regard, director of Ahrar center Fouad al-Khafsh strongly denounced the Israeli officer's threats against al-Wajih family and said they must not be taken lightly.
Khafsh called on international human rights groups to intervene to stop the recurrence of similar incidents against Palestinian civilians and pressure Israel to punish its military elements who intimidate and threaten civilians.

Soldier abducting child (image from video by CPT)
The Christian Peacemaker Team in Hebron videotaped an incident on Wednesday morning in which two small children are grabbed and held by soldiers. As the boys begin to cry and shake, multiple relatives attempt to intervene, but the soldiers end up abducting the children in an unmarked van.
The mother of one of the boys is eventually allowed to go with them in the van, but another older male relative breaks down in tears after his intervention fails to free the young boys.
The soldiers accused the two boys of throwing stones, but provided no evidence to back this accusation. Mohammed Nabil Taha and Akram Zayed Al-Jamal were visibly shaking and crying while the Israeli border police held them by their collars for thirty minutes at Qitoun checkpoint 209 in Hebron, before pushing them into a white van and taking them away to an unknown location.
According to the Christian Peacemaker Team volunteers, "The two boys were hidden from view in a corner behind the military checkpoint. When the Israeli military vehicle came to take the children to the police station, the border police roughly grabbed the boys' collars as the parents attempted to prevent the children from being taken away. One boy’s mother was eventually able to accompany them to the police station and support her son during this traumatic experience."
Israeli troops frequently target young children for abduction and interrogation, despite international law forbidding this practice. A recent report by the Euro-Mid Center for Human Rights documented a widespread practice of punishments, illegal detentions, and violations of international agreements against Palestinian children by Israeli forces.
According to the Palestinian Prisoners Society, 221 Palestinian children are currently in Israeli prisons — with 100 in Ofer Prison, 43 in HaSharon Prison and 78 in Megiddo Prison — amid harsh interrogation and detention conditions. Most of them were subjected to physical abuse during interrogation, according to the Palestinian Prisoners Society.

Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails have suspended Wednesday their hunger strike declared ten days ago after reaching a deal with the Israeli Prison Service (IPS). The deal’s details have not been announced yet.
The Palestinian Prisoners Society (PPS) confirmed that over 120 prisoners including the isolated detainee Nahar al-Saadi suspended the hunger strike after a three-day negotiation with the IPS.
The strike was declared in solidarity with Saadi who went on hunger strike for a nearly a month protesting being held for a whole year and seven months in solitary confinement.
Saadi had gone on hunger strike demanding an end to his solitary confinement, and to request his right to family visits, especially from his mother.
Saadi has suspended his strike after being allowed to call his family as part of the agreement.
In the same context, IPS imposed a set of punitive measures against 20 Palestinian hunger strikers in Ayla prison in Beersheba.
The prisoners had early declared a hunger strike in solidarity with Saadi.
The imposed punitive measures include denying recreational hours in the yard, family visits, purchasing basic supplies and goods from the prison canteen.
Prisoners’ Affairs Ministry underlined in a press conference that the hunger strikers’ health situation had sharply deteriorated due to the strike and the cold weather in light of the acute shortage of blankets.
Daily provocative searches are carried out into the prisoners’ cells, the ministry lawyer Fadi Abeidat added.
The lawyer called upon human rights institutions to intervene immediately to save the strikers’ lives before it is too late especially that they are deprived of medical treatment.
For its part, Hamas Movement called on the Palestinian people to support the prisoners’ hunger strike in protest against isolation policy.
In its statement issued Wednesday, the Movement stresses the importance of popular support for the prisoners’ issue.
The statement hailed the prisoners’ protest steps in face of IPS repression policies and declared its backing to the prisoners’ legitimate demands.
Hamas also called on the Palestinian Authority to stop persecuting the ex-detainees who were released from Israeli jails during swap deals.
Around 120 Palestinian prisoners, held in different Israeli jails, had launched an open hunger strike more than a week ago in solidarity with the isolated detainee Nahar al-Saadi who has been on hunger strike for 28 days.
Saadi, 32 years old, was sentenced to four life imprisonment terms plus 20 years. He has served 11 years out of his sentence. He declared his strike nearly a month ago in protest of being held in solitary confinement for one year and seven months under unbearable conditions.

The Israeli occupation authorities (IOA) on Wednesday released the Jerusalemite ex-prisoner Ibtissam Abd Issawi, just a few hours after she was rounded up in Jabal al-Mukabir in Occupied Jerusalem.
Sometime earlier on Wednesday afternoon, Israeli occupation forces (IOF) nabbed the ex-captive Issawi, 46, after having broken into her family home in Jabal al-Mukabir in Occupied Jerusalem.
Head of the committee of the Jerusalemite prisoners’ families, Amjad Abu Asab said the IOF cordoned off Ibtissam’s house moments before they stormed it and kidnapped the lady.

The Israeli Salem military court sentenced a young Palestinian man to four and a half years behind bars for throwing stones at Israeli occupation forces (IOF).
Local sources told the PIC reporter that the verdict was passed against 22-year-old Jihad Munir from Yabad village, south of Jenin, on Tuesday.
They said that the sentence also included paying a fine of 4000 shekels, adding that Jihad was “found guilty” of throwing stones at IOF soldiers during confrontations in that village.
They opined that the verdict was exaggerated to serve as deterrence against any future stoning of Israeli soldiers or even participation in such confrontations.

The Ahrar Center for Prisoner Studies and Human Rights said the Israeli Supreme Court on Tuesday turned down an appeal to revise an administrative sentence and schedule a court hearing for the Palestinian academic Ghassan Nayef Duqan, 57.
The Ahrar Center quoted Dukan’s family as reporting that the lawyer in charge of their son’s file notified them of an Israeli decision ruling for the renewal of the detainee’s administrative prison-term as of January.
The family voiced deep disappointment over the court rule, expressing hope that their son would be brought before a court hearing at the soonest time possible.
The three judges who were briefed on the captive’s case rejected the petition lodged by the lawyer under the clichéd “security-fie” pretext.
The Israeli prison authority has been denying prisoner Duqan, currently held at the Negev desert jail and diagnosed with asthma and rheumatism, the needed medical check-ups and therapy.
Meanwhile, the Ofer military court adjourned a court-hearing scheduled for the PLC speaker Aziz Dweik, 66, to February 2.
The trial has been called off for the seventh time in less than six months, Dweik’s family told the PIC.
Dr. Dweik, a holder of a PhD in Urban and Regional Mapping from the U.S.’s Pennsylvania University and three MA degrees, was captured in the arbitrary mass-abduction campaign targeting Hamas affiliates and anti-occupation activists.
