Occupation soldiers raided on Wednesday Silwan Boys Secondary School and stormed into classrooms during the second period.
Wadi Hilweh Information Center was informed that occupation forces raided Silwan Boys Secondary School and searched classrooms claiming that one student threw stones towards them before entering the school; they detained the 9th grade student Malek Issa Abbasi (14). Witnesses explained to WHIC that the forces took the student outside the school but the school’s surveillance cameras revealed falsified the occupation’s claim as the student arrived to school before the time when they claimed stones were thrown.One of the soldiers filmed the students while storming into classrooms and also filmed the building and school’s corridors. |
Secretary of the Central Committee of students’ parents in Silwan, Isam Abbasi, denounced targeting the schools of Ras Al-Amoud as the forces are stationed around them on a daily basis and continuously attempt to storm into schools which obstructs the educational process and deprives the students from having a calm school day.
Abbasi explained that the soldiers raided the classrooms in Silwan Secondary School under false pretenses only to terrify students; he pointed out that the school has nearly 550 students from 7th-9th grade.
Abbasi appealed for the Ministry of Education and municipality to interfere and prevent the police from daily presence in the Schools’ Street and prevent them from storming into school which has negative consequences on the psyche of students. He noted that this school was raided several times and one student was previously arrested from inside the school not to mention the constant targeting of schools with sound grenades and tear-gas canisters.

Israeli forces detained at least six Palestinians in and near the southern occupied West Bank city of Hebron on Saturday, including two young boys who were released after several hours.
Israeli forces detained two children -- identified as Bakr Mahmoud Ali Najajreh, 13, and Abeer Youssef Makhamreh, 10 -- around noon on Saturday while they were herding sheep in the Janba area near Yatta.
The two boys were released on Saturday evening after the Palestinian military liaison interceded on their behalf.
Meanwhile, locals told Ma'an that Israeli soldiers detained Rami Izzat Qindahi, 19, from Ramallah at a military checkpoint near the Ibrahimi mosque in Hebron, after Israeli forces claimed he was in possession of a knife.
Qindahi was then transferred to the Israeli intelligence services for interrogation.
Local sources also told Ma’an that three other Palestinians were detained in the al-Jabari neighborhood of Hebron for allegedly being in possession of a gun.
They were reportedly taken to Kiryat Arba police station for interrogation.
Israeli security forces didn’t have immediate information on any of the cases.
According to prisoners' rights organization Addameer, 7,000 Palestinians were detained by Israel as of February, including 406 minors.
More than 180 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces and settlers since October. Israel says the majority were shot dead while attempting to carry out attacks, although international rights groups have disputed Israel's version of events in several cases.
The attacks that have taken place -- mostly by politically unaffiliated Palestinian individuals armed only with knives -- have killed nearly 30 Israelis.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said last month it was "human nature" for Palestinians to react violently to Israel's nearly 50-year military occupation, as he urged a change in Israeli policy in the occupied Palestinian territory.

Army To Demolish Residential And Commercial Buildings In Silwan
Israeli soldiers have kidnapped, on Friday evening, two Palestinian men in the Old City of occupied Jerusalem, after a number of Israeli extremists assaulted them. Army also kidnaped a Palestinian man in Silwan; clashes took place in Silwan, and Abu Dis; one child injured.
The Wadi Hilweh Information Center in Silwan (Silwanic) has reported that the soldiers kidnapped Daoud Salaima and Ahmad al-Beitouni, after a number of extremist Israeli settlers attacked them, an issue that led to a scuffle.
The soldiers did not arrest or detain the Israelis who assaulted the two Palestinians, but instead kidnaped the Palestinians and took them to an interrogation center in the city. The incident took place in Aqbat al-Khaldiyya in Jerusalem’s Old City.
Clashes also took place in Ein al-Louza neighborhood in Silwan, after several Israeli military vehicles invaded it.
The soldiers invaded at least one home, and kidnapped a man, identified as Ali Abu al-Hamam, 47.
Silwanic said the soldiers attacked women in the invaded home, broke many windows and sprayed several Palestinians with pepper-spray after they rushed to aid the family.
In addition, the army forced many merchants to close their stores without providing any justification, and fired dozens of rubber-coated steel bullets and gas bombs, during clashes that took place following in the invasion.
Also in Silwan, the army handed four demolition notices targeting commercial and residential buildings in Silwan. The orders target a store and two homes in Ein al-Louza, in addition to one home in the al-Bustan neighborhood.
Also on Friday, the soldiers shot a child with a live round in his leg, in Abu Dis town, near Jerusalem, while dozens of residents suffered the effects of tear gas inhalation.
The wounded child was moved to a local hospital while medics provided treatment to scores of residents who suffered the effects of tear gas inhalation.

Palestinian circus artists hold portraits of their colleague, Mohammed Abu Sakha, as they demonstrate in Gaza City, Feb. 8, 2016
A number of human rights organizations have called for public support to press the Israeli regime to release a Palestinian circus artist held under administrative detention.
The UK-based Amnesty International and a number of Palestinian cultural institutions made the plea on Saturday for Mohammed Abu Sakha, who was arrested by Israeli troops in the occupied West Bank last December.
Abu Sakha heads the Palestinian Circus School’s program teaching circus arts to children with mental disabilities.
Since January 11, the artist has been under administrative detention, which is a sort of imprisonment without trial or charge that allows Israel to incarcerate Palestinians for up to six months.
Tel Aviv accuses Abu Sakha of “renewed activity” with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), a left-leaning Palestinian faction regarded as a terrorist organization by Israel. The regime justifies the arbitrary detention of the artist and claims that alleged evidence against him is classified.
The Palestinian Performing Arts Network (PPAN), which includes a dozen cultural organizations in the occupied Palestinian territories, said it was “deeply concerned” about the case of Abu Sakha.
In a message posted online, the prisoner’s mother said her son “has transformed the prison into a small circus and does performances to entertain his fellow prisoners,” some of whom are children of 12 or 13 years of age.
More than 7,000 Palestinian prisoners are currently held in some 17 Israeli jails, dozens of whom are serving multiple life sentences.
Over 500 detainees are under administrative detention, which can be renewed for an indefinite time without any legal process.
According to the Israeli human rights organization B’Tselem, arbitrary detention should be exercised only in very exceptional cases, but Israeli officials routinely employ the practice against thousands of Palestinians.
Palestinian detainees have continuously resorted to open-ended hunger strikes in an attempt to expresses their outrage at the illegal and unfair administrative detention and to demand an end to the policy.
Last year, the Israeli regime passed a controversial bill allowing the force-feeding of hunger-striking prisoners to counter the Palestinian hunger-strikers’ protest.

Two Palestinians held in Israel’s Ktziot prison in the Negev continued hunger strikes on Saturday against their administrative detention by Israel.
A lawyer for the Palestinian Committee for Prisoners’ Affairs, Fadi Ubeidat, said 26-year-old Mahmoud Muhammad Hasan al-Fasfous began a strike on Feb. 20, after his detention was renewed without trial for the third six-month period in a row.
Al-Fasfous told Ubeidat on Friday that Israeli intelligence decided to keep him in custody despite a court decision against extension of his remand.
Speaking of his health condition after two weeks on hunger strike, al-Fasfous said he had already lost six kilograms and was suffering from a nose fracture and vision problems after he was physically assaulted by employees of Israel’s prison services.
Ubeidat told Ma’an that Dawood Haboub from al-Amari refugee camp, also held in Ktziot, announced a strike on March 1 protesting his administrative detention.
According to prisoners' rights organization Addameer, at least 670 Palestinians are currently held under administrative detention by Israel, a policy international community has repeatedly said is in contravention to international law.

The family of Palestinian prisoner Yazan Hanani has held the Israeli occupation authority fully responsible for his life, affirming that he has been on hunger strike for 18 days.
Hanafi Hanani, the brother of the prisoner, said that his brother went on hunger strike in protest at his detention administratively without any guilt.
Hanani told Quds Press that the administration of the Negev jail gave his brother until next Monday to end his hunger strike or else he would be transferred to solitary confinement. He said that his brother refuses to end his hunger strike without ending his administrative detention.
He added that Israeli soldiers kidnapped his 22-year-old brother, Yazan, during a violent raid on the house of the family in Beit Furik in Nablus on October 28, according to Hanani.

The Palestinian Prisoner Center for Studies (PPCS) has held the Israeli occupation authority (IOA) fully responsible for the life of prisoner Fadi Abul-Huda, from Nablus city, after he was taken to an unknown place.
The PPCS also demanded the IOA to immediately reveal the fate and whereabouts of prisoner Abul-Huda. Spokesman for the center Riyadh al-Ashqar said the administration of Eshel jail transferred Abul-Huda to an undeclared destination after he beat a prison officer during a heated argument with him.
Ashqar noted that the incident happened after the officer insisted on his refusal to allow the prisoner to see his family. Consequently, an atmosphere of tension prevailed in all sections of the prison, especially in section 11 where the prisoner had been held, according to the spokesman.
The prison administration, in its turn, decided to punish the prisoners in section 11 by depriving them of spending their leisure time in the prison yard and confiscated electrical appliances from their rooms.
Ashqar pointed out that prisoner Abul-Huda is a noted official of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) and was arrested on March 2, 2014 after he stabbed a Jewish settler near al-Za'iem village, east of Jerusalem, in retaliation to the killing of a Palestinian young man by Israeli soldiers.
For its part, the family of the prisoner expressed its deep concern over his fate, affirming that he is prevented from seeing his relatives under security pretexts and is punished regularly by the jailers.

The Israeli Salem military court extended the detention of the injured prisoner Mohamed Zakarneh, 19, from Qabatia town in Jenin, for the second time in a row.
Quds Press quoted family sources as affirming that Israeli authorities extended Zakarneh’s detention for eight days for the second time, pointing out that he is currently held in Afula hospital as he was earlier shot and injured by Israeli gunfire.
Zakarneh was arrested in February 2016 from his home in Qabatia town. He suffers gunshot injuries in his left leg during clashes that broke out in the town. He was accused of being involved in anti-occupation protests in the town.
The family called on international human rights institutions to immediately intervene and to provide him with the appropriate medical treatment.

An Israeli court has turned down an appeal by administrative detainee Bilal al-Tamimi for his release at the end of his current term in prison, the Palestine prisoners center for studies said.
The center said in a statement on Friday that the court justified its decision by claiming that Tamimi, who hails from al-Khalil, poses danger on Israel’s security.
The statement recalled that Tamimi was arrested in July 2014 and was since then held in administrative detention, without trial or charge. He served 20 months so far in renewed detention orders, each time for six months.
The last such renewal was in January 2016. The center said that the appeal tabled on behalf of the detainee asked for a ruling that would end renewal of his administrative detention.
It pointed out that Tamimi, a father of a child, is held in the Negev desert prison. He suffers from arthritis, the pains of which double with the advent of winter.

Palestinian ex-detainee Naim al-Shawamreh, who had spent 20 years in detention, suffered serious health problems during his presence in Israeli jails, his family affirmed.
Shawamreh started to suffer from permanent muscle atrophy in Israeli jails and has become unable to move or speak, the son of the ex-detainee, Munjed, told Quds Press.
He said that the policy of medical neglect and silent killing pursued by Israel against the Palestinian prisoners in its jails led his father and others to be on the brink of death.
Ex-detainee Shawamreh was released among several other prisoners following understandings between the Palestinian Authority and Israel in 2013.
According to a recent Palestinian human rights report, 22 Palestinian prisoners suffering from chronic health problems receive inadequate medical care in the infirmary of the Israeli Ramla jail.
About 750 prisoners are also referred to Israeli prison infirmaries regularly as a result of their suffering from different health problems.
