The Israeli occupation army’s home front command has notified six Palestinian young men from Issawiya district in east Jerusalem of its intention to place them under nighttime house arrest for several months.
According to Haaretz website, the decision an unusual step to use British Mandate-era emergency regulations against local residents in an area occupied by Israel.
Since Israel, an occupying power, claim that east Jerusalem falls under its sovereignty, the Israeli police in Jerusalem are customarily known for carrying out different security measures, including placing local residents under house arrests, but such rare military order can be considered an admission that east Jerusalem is under Israeli occupation.
Haaretz said “the injunctions employed in this case give extensive authority to military commanders, and are generally used for demolitions and detention without trial almost exclusively in the West Bank,” rather than within territory claimed by Israel as under its sovereignty.
The home front command's action to serve those young men with administrative injunctions over "sensitive information" about their alleged violent activities comes amid an ongoing Israeli police campaign in Issawiya, which recently led to the arrest of over 600 residents.

After almost a record 100 days of hunger strike, Israel insists on keeping Ahmad Zahran behind bars, without charge or trial and based on secret evidence.
The Palestinian Prisoners’ Commission said in a statement, today, that Zahran, 42, has been on hunger strike for 97 consecutive days, demanding a fair trial or his release from prison, as the Israeli military court keeps delaying a hearing on an appeal against renewing his administrative detention for four more months.
Zahran, from the Ramallah-area village of Deir Abu Mishaal, was also on hunger strike, previously, but ended it 39 days later, after he was told that his administrative detention would not be renewed when it ran out.
However, when the Israeli military reneged on this promise and extended his detention by four months, he resumed the hunger strike.
Prisoners’ Commission spokesman Hassan Abed Rabbo told WAFA news agency that Zahran’s health was rapidly deteriorating after losing 30 kilograms of his weight and that he is currently kept at Ramleh prison clinic.
Zahran had spent a total of 15 years in Israeli prisons for acts of resistance against the Israeli occupation, Days of Palestine reports. He is a father of four.
