Bassam Alhalaq

Israeli troops abducted early on Wednesday about fifteen Palestinian residents from various parts of the West Bank, including the occupied East Jerusalem.

In the occupied East Jerusalem, Israeli police abducted Palestinian engineer, Bassam Alhalaq, who is in charge of construction works, inside the Alaqsa Mosque.

Palestinian News Agency, Maan, said that the abduction of Alhalaq came during an Israeli police interruption of some construction works within the Almarawni part of the Alaqsa Mosque.

Maan added that the police’s task force of the occupation authorities, blocked those works, before they took Alhalaq to custody for interrogation.

Noteworthy, the Jordanian Ministry of Waqf and Religious Affairs, is the one in charge of the Alaqsa Mosque’s affairs, since Israel has occupied East Jerusalem, back in June 1967.

Also in East Jerusalem, Israeli occupation forces abducted Palestinian resident, Mohammad Abuelhawa, as soon as the latter completed dawn prayer at the mosque. Abuelhawa is a resident of the Altour neighborhood, east of the occupied Palestinian city. video

In the meantime, Israeli troops had earlier invaded the Palestinian Shu’fat refugee camp of Easy Jerusalem. and broke into the home of a Palestinian resident, before they abducted the resident and his wife. The two abductees, were not identified. video

The Esawiya neighborhood in north-east of East Jerusalem, was reportedly invaded by Israeli troops. Local media outlets, including Alqudsn.net, said that the invading Israeli force confronted local residents of Esawiya, before they abducted two of them, identified as Mohammad Esmat Obaid and Mohammad Ghadeb Obaid. video

The media sources added that the two residents, were exposed to beating by Israeli soldiers, before they were abducted and taken to an unknown destination.

In the West Bank city of Hebron, local Palestinian media sources and witnesses said that Israeli occupation forces invaded some parts of the city, before they abducted local attorney, A’ed Ahiyoumi, along with local residents,  Fadi Ghonaimat, Shadi Mohammad and Mosa Shahin.

Meanwhile, Israeli troops abducted Palestinian youth, Mostafa Assaf, after having invaded the Qabatya village, an outskirt of the West Bank city of Jenin.

In another Israeli occupation army’s operation of abduction, Israeli soldiers abducted Palestinian youth, Mohannad Alsada from the Jeet village, east of the West Bank city of Qalqilia.

In the central West Bank city of Ramallah, Israeli troops abducted Palestinian youths, Omar Hajjaz, Ahmad Azzam and Obaida Hajjaz, after having invaded the Mazra’a Alsharqiya village, east of the Ramallah city.

Over the past several weeks, Israeli occupation troops, across the West Bank, have increased operations of abduction. Increased abductions come as Israeli government officials have signaled annexation of about 30 percent of the West Bank territories, to the occupation state of Israel.

Elderly Palestinian Detainee Dies In Captivity
Picture
The Palestinian Commission of Detainees’ Affairs has confirmed, on Wednesday morning, the death of an elderly Palestinian political prisoner at Israeli medical center following years of medical neglect.

The Commission stated that Sa’adi Khalil al-Gharabily, 75, from Gaza, has died on Wednesday morning, at an Israeli medical center, after suffering for several years from various health conditions, including cancer.

Qadri Abu Bakr, the head of the Commission, has reported that Israel confirmed his death to one of its lawyers, adding that the detainee died at Kaplan Medical Center.

Although some media outlets have reported his death, Tuesday, the detainee was still in a critical condition hooked life support machines, before he was declared clinically dead, and eventually died.

It is worth mentioning that his family has been denied the right to visit with him since the year 1999.

The Commission called on Israel to transfer his corpse to the Palestinians for an autopsy and a proper burial ceremony.

Former political prisoner, researcher and the head of the Studies and Documentation Committee of the Palestinian Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees, Abdul-Nasser Ferwana, has confirmed to the IMEMC the death of al-Gharabily, and stated that the deceased was the second oldest detainee in Israeli prisons, the oldest being Fuad Shobaki, 80.

He added that al-Gharabily was serving a life term in prison after an Israeli court convicted him of killing an Israeli officer in Tel Aviv in the year 1994. He spent most of his sentence in solitary confinement under inhumane conditions, including when he was held in a cell from the year 1994 until 2006.

His death brings the number of detainees, who died or were killed, in Israeli prisons since the year 1967 to 224.

Ferwana stated that 73 detainees died after being continuously and severely tortured, and seven others were shot and killed while in prison, and added that hundreds of Palestinians also died after being released from Israeli prisons after being denied proper and specialized medical treatment while in captivity.

Meanwhile, the Palestinian Prisoners’ Society (PPS) issued a statement denouncing the serious and ongoing Israeli violations against the detainees, including denying them access to specialized medical treatment, in addition to the solitary confinement policies, torture and constant abuse.

The PPS added that at least 700 Palestinian detainees require proper and specialized medical care, but are denied this basic right, and called on forming a nonaligned medical committee that supervises healthcare of ailing detainees, and those with special needs.

It also urged international legal and human rights groups to intervene and provide protection to the Palestinian people, living under the illegal Israeli occupation of their homeland, and to ensure that Israel abides by all related international treaties and conventions.

The Gazan passenger, Abdullah Shaker, was intending to go to Israel to donate bone marrow to his sick brother at the Tel Hashomer Hospital.

Instead of being denied travel and sent back to Gaza, the IOF kidnaps many Gazan citizens, including merchants and patients, after they submit requests for travel through the Beit Hanoun crossing and later go there to be interviewed in order to receive final approval.

Three Palestinian detainees in Israel on hunger strike protesting their administrative detention
Three Palestinian detainees in Israeli jails are currently on hunger strike in protest against their administrative detention without charge or trial, today said the Palestinian Prisoner Society (PPS).

Odi Shehadeh, from Deheisheh refugee camp in Bethlehem, has been on hunger strike for 15 days in a row at Ofer military camp near Ramallah, Fadi Ghneimat, from the town of Surif, in the south of the West Bank, has been on hunger strike for 14 days and is being held at Ofer, and Mahmoud Saadi, from Jenin refugee camp in the north of the West Bank, has been on hunger strike for six days and is being held at Hadarim prison, said PPS.

Statement: “Death Of Palestinian Detainee Not Confirmed”
Picture
The Israeli Prison Service has not yet officially informed the Palestinians or the Red Cross of the death of a Palestinian detainee in prison, while the current information reveals that the detainee is likely clinically dead, but so far, there has been no official confirmation, despite various conflicting reports.

Former political prisoner, researcher and the head of the Studies and Documentation Committee of the Palestinian Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees, has informed the International Middle East Media Center (IMEMC) that the Israeli Prison Service has not informed any party that the detainee, Sa’ad al-Gharabily, 75, has died, and only announced he is in a critical condition, or possibly clinically dead.

Ferwana added that his department is still awaiting an official confirmation about the detainee’s condition, and held Israel fully responsible for his life, especially amidst the lack of proper medical treatment to the detainees.

“We can only hope that al-Gharabily is alive, and we wish him a full recovery; we also hold Israel fully responsible for what happens to him,” Ferwana told the IMEMC, “All that we know, especially since Israel is not providing much information, is that the detainee is still alive, but in a very critical condition.”

It is worth mentioning that al-Gharabily is from the Gaza Strip, and was taken prisoner in the year 1994, before he was sentenced to life in prison after being convicted of participating in attacks against Israeli occupation targets.

Ferwana voiced an appeal to media outlets to refrain from publishing unconfirmed reports, that are largely conflicting and only cause more agony and suffering to the families of the detainees.

His statements came after various media outlets, journalists and activists, published reports, or posts, claiming the detainee has died in prison, even though no official confirmation was ever made.

“The issue of the detainees is a humanitarian cause; it is not a subject for media outlets to deal with it as breaking news, competing on who publishes first before all others,” Ferwana told the IMEMC, “Media outlets and social media activists must be aware of the facts, and should never publish such reports before they are officially confirmed or denied.”

“It is already always difficult to get any news from the Israeli prisons, detention centers, and interrogation facilities. Israel’s lack of cooperation with human rights groups and the Red Cross, makes getting such news nearly impossible,” Ferwana said, “I call on all individuals, media outlets, officials, institutions, and political factions to refrain from making statements and publishing hasty reports without official confirmations. We also need to always respect the families, and what they go through in these conditions.”

“A martyr is not a number, is not a new breaking news item; we need to wait; we need to confirm before we make official statements and issue press releases,” Ferwana concluded, “to those who just want to publish, those who claim to know the full truth, if I could whisper in their ears, I would say please have compassion and respect to the feelings of others, respect the people, respect their minds, and then, they will respect you back.”
