Army Abducts Seven Palestinians In West Bank
Picture
The Palestinian Prisoners’ Society (PPS) has reported that Israeli soldiers abducted, on Thursday at dawn, seven Palestinians from their homes in Jenin, Tulkarem, and Hebron governorates in the occupied West Bank.

The PPS office in Jenin, in northern West Bank, said the soldiers stormed and ransacked homes in the al-Marah neighborhood, and abducted a young man, identified as Mohammad Omar al-Jamal, in addition to assaulting his brother.

The soldiers also invaded and violently searched many homes in the neighborhood, and interrogated many Palestinians.

In addition, the soldiers abducted a former political prisoner, Nasser Zeidan al-Jada’, from his home in Kharrouba neighborhood in Jenin city. The Palestinian is originally from Burqin nearby town.

In Taybeh village, northwest of Jenin, the soldiers abducted Aws Ibrahim Jabarin, after storming his home and ransacking it.

In Tulkarem, in northern West Bank, the soldiers abducted Mahmoud Abdul-Rahman Khalaf, 26, from the Southern Neighborhood, and Khaled Adnan Salman, 24, from Ramin town, east of Tulkarem city.

The soldiers also invaded homes in Hebron city, before abducting Mohannad Hussein Natsha, 18, and Ala’ Mohammad at-Teety, 17, from his home in the al-Fawwar refugee camp, southwest of Hebron.

In Bethlehem, south of the occupied Palestinian capital Jerusalem, the soldiers invaded the Saff Street, in the center of the city, and summoned a young man, identified as Ramadan Janazra, for interrogation in Gush Etzion military base and security center.

Soldiers Abduct A Lawyer, Who Previously Spent 9 Years In Prison, While His French Wife, Child, Were Deported
Picture
Israeli soldiers abducted, two days ago, a Palestinian lawyer with French citizenship, from occupied Jerusalem, a former political prisoner who was previously imprisoned for more than nine years, and moved him to the al-Maskobiyya interrogation facility.

The Palestinian Prisoners’ Society (PPS) has reported that the soldiers abducted Salah Hammouri while receiving treatment at a medical center in occupied Jerusalem, and was ordered under interrogation for one week.

The PPS added that Salah was frequently abducted by the army, was subject to various forms of torture, and spent more than nine years in Israeli prisons, detention, and interrogation centers.

When Salah was taken prisoner for the first time, he was held captive for two years, and shortly after his release, he was abducted yet again in the year 2005 and was released in 2011. He was accused of planning to assassinate Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, an Iraqi-born and leader of the ultra-orthodox far-right Shas party.

In late September 2018, the Israeli authorities rearrested Hammouri, minutes after his release from prison after spending thirteen months under arbitrary Administrative Detention orders without charges.

Salah, a member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) is married to a French solidarity activist, who gave birth to their first and only son, before Israel forcibly exiled them out of Palestine.

He was also frequently denied access to the West Bank, and was denied the right to travel out of Palestine to meet with his wife and son, under the allegation that he “poses a threat to Israel’s national security.”

Even though Salah is also a French citizen, not only he is unable to travel to France, but has also been denied family reunification with his wife and child.

Mezan: “Marking the International Day in Support of Victims of Torture, Al Mezan Highlights Abuse of 92 Children Crossing Gaza’s Buffer Zone”

Al-Mezan Center For Human Rights: Press Release:

To mark the International Day in Support of Victims of Torture, Al Mezan highlights its recent monitoring and documentation concerning the torture and abuse of Palestinian children attempting to cross the Israeli-imposed buffer zone, or access-restricted area, in Gaza.

This documentation shows patterns of torture and cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment or punishment (CIDTP) affecting all 92 children interviewed, including verbal and physical assault, attack by military dogs, extensive blindfolding, and restraint in painful positions while in Israeli custody.

The Israeli military uses live fire to enforce its movement restrictions in the access-restricted area in the Gaza Strip; however, some Palestinian children in Gaza, citing socioeconomic distress due to Israel’s unlawful closure and blockade that maintains dire humanitarian conditions, were undeterred in their attempts to leave Gaza.

Between 2015-2019, 92 children, who were arrested attempting to cross the perimeter fence, reported abuse during arrest and detention.

Of the 92 children, 91% reported excessive verbal abuse and being forced to take off their clothes and remain restrained in painful positions for long periods of time; 36% reported being beaten during arrest; Israeli soldiers unleashed military dogs in 30% of the cases, and 93% of the children interviewed said they were blindfolded the entire time they were transported to the interrogation center.

The Israeli forces at the separation fence between the Gaza Strip and Israel fired live ammunition in 72.5% of the cases, and 4% reported being injured even before their arrest. Al Mezan’s monitoring and documentation in that period shows that the military killed eight children in the buffer zone who were attempting to leave Gaza.

These patterns of abuse have been reported for years, in particular in the access-restricted area by sea, where fishermen both inside and outside the Israeli-imposed permitted fishing zone are routinely subjected to unwarranted attacks and harassment, arbitrary arrest, and physical and verbal abuse in custody.

The majority of fishermen are released back into Gaza within one day, indicating that the Israeli authorities lack the grounds to detain the fishermen. Some medical patients from Gaza who have received Israeli-issued permits to seek treatment via Erez crossing have also reported abuse within the checkpoint that would amount to prohibited torture and ill-treatment.

The prohibition of torture is absolute, and while Israel has ratified the UN Convention Against Torture (UN CAT), to date, Israeli law does not include a prohibition or criminalization of torture.

Further, a 1999 Supreme Court decision[1] allows interrogators that used techniques amounting to torture and ill-treatment to be protected from indictment in “ticking bomb” cases under the “necessity defense” clause of Israel’s penal code.

Pervasive trends therefore continue to be documented of state actors and the military torturing and abusing Palestinians, including Gazan children, with impunity. The criminal complaints that Al Mezan pursues on behalf of victims from Gaza are not examined through independent or thorough procedures, and are delayed, with crucial scarce evidence lost, which compounds the fact that the Israeli authorities do not refer torture and ill-treatment victims to hospital where their injuries could be documented.

Palestinians are also vulnerable to torture and CIDTP by Palestinian authorities across the occupied Palestinian territory, making the 92 children susceptible to added abuse upon their release by Israel back into the Gaza Strip. While Palestine also signed UN CAT, the provisions of the Convention have not been incorporated into Palestinian law.

Fundamentally, the political division between the authorities in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip contributes to the breakdown in the rule of law, in which torture and other forms of ill-treatment are able to persist.

Al Mezan is alarmed by the reports of the 92 children of torture and CIDTP and demands justice on their behalf. As the prohibition of torture is a peremptory norm of international law that gives rise to the obligation by all States to take action against those who torture, Al Mezan calls for concrete steps by the international community to end Israel’s practices of torture and ill-treatment against Palestinians.

The competent Palestinian authorities must also take all legislative, judicial and administrative measures to end abuse. Finally, Al Mezan’s long engagement with the Israeli justice system definitively evidences the need for the International Criminal Court to urgently conduct a genuine investigation into the use of torture and CIDTP on Palestinian territory.

Local sources reported that at least 25 Palestinian citizens, including a Palestinian detainee’s wife, were kidnapped from their homes in different areas in Jerusalem and the West Bank.

Violent clashes broke out between Palestinian youths and IOF soldiers as the latter raided al-Teira neighborhood in Ramallah.

The IOF soldiers heavily fired tear gas canisters and rubber-coated metal bullets at the youths. Many of them suffered tear gas suffocation and were treated in the field.

Residents of Jerusalem reported that the IOF on Tuesday night abruptly closed Qalandiya and Container checkpoints, north and south of Jerusalem City, and blocked the movement of Palestinian citizens for hours. 

Israeli Troops Abduct Twenty Palestinians Including Two Women

Israeli troops abducted, early Wednesday morning, twenty Palestinian residents, including two women, from different parts of the West Bank and the occupied East Jerusalem.

Local Palestinian sources said that Israeli troops abducted 10 Palestinians from different neighborhoods in the occupied East Jerusalem, identified as Ahmad Abu Alrub, Akram Salayma, Mohammad Ameera, Jawad Jouda, Ahmad Mahania, Ala Abu Elhawa, Waleed Alsayad, Ehab Abu Sbetan, Raed Alshhab and Mohammad Obaid.

In the West Bank city of Nablus, Israeli troops abducted four Palestinian residents, identified as Harby Dawood of the Alma’moun neighborhood, Bashar Mansour, of the Askar refugee camp, east of the Nablus city, as well as Sael Ramadan and Ayoub Aseeda, after having broken into their homes in the Tal village, west of Nablus.

In the Tulkarem city, Israeli troops abducted ex-prisoner, Solieman Khraisha, 37, of the Dannaba neighborhood , east of Tulkarem, and resident, Abdelkareem Alhmashari, 31, of the Ezbet Aljarad neighborhood, east of the city, after having broken into and vandalized their homes.

Meanwhile, Israeli abduction operations included this time Palestinian women, as Israeli troops in the central West Bank city of Ramallah, abducted earlier today, Hamin Nassar, wife of currently-imprisoned Palestinian prisoner, Rami Fadayel, as well as the student at Beir Zeit University, Elya Abu Jajla, after having broken into the two women’s homes into their homes in the Alteera neighborhood, west of Ramallah city.

In the meantime, Israeli troops abducted, Wednesday at dawn, youth Mahdi Naser Samad’a, 19, of the Jallazoun refugee camp and Amjad Samhan of the Beir Zeit town, within the district of Ramallah.
