Sources told Ma'an that Israeli forces ambushed former prisoner Rami al-Fakhouri in the Wadi al-Juz neighborhood of the city. Witnesses said that Israeli soldiers and intelligence forces were deployed in the neighborhood for more than an hour-and-a-half before detaining al-Fakhouri. video Al-Fakhouri got married to the daughter of a killed Palestinian, Musbah Abu Sbeih whose body is still withheld by the Israeli authorities, three weeks ago. Israeli forces detained al-Fakhouri, his father and more than 22 Palestinian youths who had attended the wedding, and summoned others for interrogation on charges of "taking part in a wedding during which flags of the Hamas movement were waved and terrorists were hailed." The wedding party had taken place in the al-Eizariya town east of Jerusalem. An Israeli TV Channel had broadcasted footage of al-Fakhouri's wedding party, directly inciting against him and the guests of his wedding. The TV also referred to the attack that Abu Sbeih, the bride's father, had carried out in Jerusalem City, and in which he was killed by Israeli forces. The detainees' lawyer, Khalid Zabarqa, told Ma'an that several of the detainees were released while the detention of others was extended. |

The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) at dawn Saturday blew up the home of Abu Hmeid family al-Amaari refugee camp, south of Ramallah, during an over six-hour raid into the area. video video
Local sources said that more than 56 Palestinians were injured during clashes that erupted with the IOF around the building, as dozens of activists and supporters had gathered to prevent the demolition. Large numbers of IOF soldiers, accompanied by military bulldozers, raided Ramallah after midnight Friday, surrounded Abu Hmeid family's four-storey building, and forced the family and activists protesting inside the building out. The IOF assaulted the family members and protesters by beating, firing teargas bombs at them, and spraying them with pepper. |
Eyewitnesses reported seeing a number of protesters arrested by the soldiers.
Local residents said that a number of IOF snipers climbed the rooftops of houses neighboring Abu Hmeid's building and used them as lookouts.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said that at least 56 Palestinians, including a journalist working for al-Jazeera TV, were injured by rubber-coated metal bullets and teargas canisters, and added that 10 of the injured were transferred to Palestine Medical Complex to complete treatment. video
Before filling Abu Hmeid's home with explosives, the IOF evacuated all neighboring homes under the cold weather, estimated to be around 500 women, children and men of all ages, and kept them in an open football field.
The Red Crescent provided those evacuated in the field with blankets, water and food, and was able to evacuate about 100 women and children to a nearby Red Crescent building.
Head of the National Committee Against the Wall and Settlement, Minister Walid Assaf, affirmed that the house will be rebuilt for the fourth time, praising the steadfastness of the Palestinian widow Um Naser Abu Hmeid who refused to leave her home before making sure that all protesters were outside and safe.
The owner of the building, Um Naser Abu Hmeid, 72, said in press statements, "We will never fall down and we will never surrender. As long as there is occupation, we will resist it."
An Israeli court had given the army the green light to demolish the building as a form of collective punishment since Israel accuses one of the family's sons, Islam, of killing an Israeli soldier by throwing a stone on him in May 2018.
Israel had demolished Abu Hmeid's house twice, in 1994 and 2003. Five of the family members, not including Islam, are serving prison sentences in Israeli jails for resisting the occupation.
