Israeli soldiers invaded, Tuesday, a Palestinian store in Beit Safafa town, in occupied Jerusalem, kidnapping the store owner and his three sons, after assaulting them along with other Palestinian shoppers.
The Arabs48 News Website published a video showing the soldiers and police assaulting the family, in addition to attacking a woman who was shopping in the store. The soldiers kidnapped the father, Abedrabbo Abedrabbo and his three sons, Abed, Talal and Bilal, after violently attacking and beating them. The father told the Arabs48 that the police kidnapped him and his sons, took them to the al-Maskobiyya interrogation facility, and released him but kept his son under arrest. |
“The police invaded my store, allegedly looking for Palestinian workers who don’t have entry permits to Jerusalem,” the father said. “They asked me for my ID, but I didn’t have it on me, so they started beating me up.”
“They then attacked my sons, and arrested them, before taking all of us to the police station,” Abedrabbo added, “I was released just a few minutes later, but my three sons are currently under interrogation in the al-Maskobiyya police station.”
He said that the attack was unprovoked, and just shows the racist nature of the police.
“They attacked us, beat us, and attacked our property, for nothing more than misinformation, and false allegations,” Abedrabbo stated, “They had no cause or justification whatsoever; they should be ashamed of what they did.”

Sami Jamal Faraj Ideis
An Israeli court on Tuesday sentenced a Palestinian man to eight months of imprisonment, with an additional six months suspended, for activity on social media.
The Jerusalem detainees' families committee said that the Israeli magistrate's court had handed the sentence to Sami Jamal Faraj Ideis, 28, from Shufat after he was convicted of inciting anti-Jewish violence and supporting "terror" in posts and comments on Facebook.
According to Ma'an News Agency, Ideis was one of eight Palestinian men detained in December 2014 in East Jerusalem under the same charges.
Their indictment said that Israeli intelligence had monitored the men's Facebook postings since last June, which intelligence said had raised tensions across Jerusalem and encouraged acts of "terrorism."
They cited in particular postings on the murder of 16-year-old Muhammad Abu Khdeir, who was kidnapped and killed by a group of Jewish extremists in July, as well as on a spate of Palestinian attacks on Israeli military and civilians that mostly took place in occupied East Jerusalem.
Ideis' sentence comes less than a week after another of the eight Palestinians detained with him -- the former secretary-general of Fatah in Jerusalem Omar al-Shalabi -- was sentenced to nine months in an Israeli prison for Facebook posts.
Two others from the group -- Adnan Ghaith, the current secretary-general of Fatah in Jerusalem, and Islam al-Natsheh -- were in April released from Israeli prisons following five months without trial.
Israelis on social media routinely and openly incite violence against Palestinians, especially during heightened periods of tensions such as this summer's military offensive on Gaza, but none have yet faced prosecution.
In recent months, the Palestinian Authority has also arrested Palestinians over postings on Facebook that have been critical of the PA and the Palestinian security services.

37-year-old Palestinian detainee Khader Adnan Musa has been on an open-ended hunger-strike for the 15th day running in protest at being held administratively, with neither charge nor trial, at the Israeli occupation jails, the Muhjat al-Quds Foundation for Prisoners and Martyrs said Tuesday.
According to the Muhajt al-Quds Foundation, prisoner Adnan, currently held at the Hadarim solitary lock-down, has been turning down meals and refusing to undergo medical check-ups in protest at his administrative detention.
The detainee further refused to be spoken up for by his private attorney or by lawyers from other human rights institutions in line with an earlier decision of his to boycott Israeli occupation courts, which according to him “do little more than seeking pretexts to legitimize the so-called ‘secret’ indictments file.
The detainee called on the Palestinian masses and Diaspora to rally round him by all means available and work on restoring his freedom.
“Allah has created us free. Either we live so or else we’d better die,” a leaked letter by prisoner Adnan read.
Prisoner Khader Adnan, who staged one of the longest hunger strikes in history in 2012, further spoke out against the harsh penalties and tough torture he has been made to endure in the solitary lock-down of the Hadarim jail.
Adnan was arrested near Jenin in July during an Israeli arrest campaign across the West Bank. He is one of many former prisoners re-arrested for unclear reasons.
In November an Israeli military court ruled to release Adnan after five months without trial or charge, but the ruling was never implemented and Adnan remains in jail without any explanation as to why he has been arrested.
In 2012, he took part in a 66-day hunger strike against administrative detention, without trial or charge. The agreement that released him on April 18 of that year also ended a hunger strike of 2,000 Palestinian prisoners, who had called for an end to administrative detention.

The Palestinian Prisoners and Ex-prisoners’ Committee, in cooperation with Jordanian human rights institutions, have started preparations for an international conference on prisoners, set to kick off in September in the Jordanian Capital, Amman.
Head of the Prisoners and Ex-prisoners’ Committee, Issa Qaraqe, said the conference falls in line with the legal battle initiated by the Palestinian leadership, nationwide and overseas, after Palestinian’s accession to the Rome Statute and the International Criminal Court (ICC).
Experts in international law, former judges, and prominent political and parliamentary figures are expected to join the conference, Qaraqe added.
He said the Israeli government, most notoriously Netanyahu’s, have reneged, both legally and ethically, on their allotted responsibilities as regards Palestinian and Arab detainees locked-up at Israeli jails.
“The Israeli occupation has not only been violating international laws and provisions regarding the prisoners’ cause but has also devised racist and chauvinistic laws that have infringed prisoners’ rights and obstructed all peace initiatives in the region.”
Qaraqe spoke out against Israel’s persecution of Palestinian and Arab detainees, warning of an explosion to rock the region over the prisoners’ cause.

The Palestinian Detainees Committee has reported, on Tuesday, that several detained Palestinian children testified to their lawyers about repeated torture, abuse, and intimidation, by Israeli interrogators and soldiers.
The Committee said detained children continue to suffer ongoing violations, torture and abuse by Israeli interrogators, in direct violation of International Law.

The Israeli occupation authorities (IOA), earlier this month, arrested the Jordanian engineer Malek Abdul Rauf al-Khabas on his way back home to Jordan via the King Hussein Bridge.
Malik’s mother said in press statements Tuesday: “While I was on my way back home to Jordan with Malik, after we attended the wedding of his niece, the Israeli intelligence deployed at King Hussein Bridge summoned him for interrogation. I kept waiting for three hours before I was updated on his detention without any reason or explanation.”
