The Israeli police extended Wednesday the arrest of three guards of the Al-Aqsa Mosque who were earlier detained from al-Aqsa compound.

Three other Jerusalemites’ detention was extended after being detained last week from Shufat town north of the occupied city.

The Israeli Prison Service (IPS) transferred Wednesday evening the hunger-striking prisoner Samer Issawi to Tel HaShomer Hospital after his serious health deterioration.
Issawi has joined the Freedom and Dignity Hunger Strike declared on April 17 demanding an end to the denial of family visits, the right to pursue higher education, appropriate medical care and treatment, and an end to solitary confinement and administrative detention, in addition to other demands for basic rights.
The news came as dozens of prisoners were taken to hospitals on Wednesday morning.
Palestinian Committee of Prisoners’ Affairs head Issa Qaraqe said that the IPS would negotiate with the striking prisoners if only they stop the hunger strike.
He pointed out that the prisoners threatened to escalate their protest steps if their demands are not met.
About 1,800 Palestinian prisoners are continuing their open-ended hunger strike, which most of them started 38 days ago to demand basic rights.

Israeli forces, on Wednesday, detained two Palestinian minors near the Israeli Salem military camp to the west of Jenin, said local sources.
Sources told WAFA that Israeli army detained two minors aged 16 and 17, from Jenin refugee camp, while they near the Israeli Salem military camp.
Earlier on Wednesday, Israeli forces detained several Palestinians and seized cash and electronic devices during multiple overnight raids, across a number of West Bank districts.
Ma’an News Agency further reports that at least two Palestinian children were beaten and detained by Israeli forces inside the Aida refugee camp, located in the northern part of Bethlehem city in the southern occupied West Bank.
Witnesses said that Israeli forces raided the camp in military jeeps at around 9:30 a.m. while students from the camp’s United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) school were returning home from their final exams.
The soldiers then got out of their jeeps near the camp’s cemetery and assaulted two students, whose identities remained unknown. After beating the two, the soldiers threw them into the jeep and took them into a military base located adjacent to the camp.
“After arresting the two kids, the soldiers lined up a group of students against the wall and began pointing their guns in the kids’ faces,” one witness, who recorded the incident on video, said.
The soldiers then began yelling at the students, accusing them of covering up for someone who allegedly threw a homemade pipe bomb at the military base around 8:30 a.m.
The witness insisted, however, that there was no way the students could have been involved in the incident or know who threw the bomb, since they were in school taking their final exams.
Shortly after interrogating the students in the street, soldiers raided Aida’s Lajee Center, a community organization for refugee youth that stands at the entrance to the camp, and confiscated the center’s computers and security camera footage, which the witness highlighted happens nearly every time any rocks or explosive devices area thrown at the military base, given the center’s location on the main road of the camp, just across from the base.
The witness highlighted that the soldiers prevented the center’s employees from entering the building while the soldiers were inside.
As the soldiers were inside the center, local activists and children from the camp stood outside the center, holding Palestinian flags and chanting slogans, calling for “the occupation soldiers to get out.”
An Israeli army spokesperson said they were looking into reports.
Israeli raids in Palestinian towns, villages, and refugee camps are a daily occurrence in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem.
As Israeli forces have maintained an almost daily presence in the camp in recent months, locals in Aida have reported escalated military procedures over the past several months, creating what some residents have called a perpetual “atmosphere of fear.”
In February, Israeli forces raided the camp in broad daylight and violently detained a boy in the street as he was walking home from school.
A video shared on social media shows Israeli soldiers aggressively throwing the boy into the back of a military vehicle.
One day prior, soldiers had raided the Lajee center where they seized computers and security camera footage, after Israeli police said that “a suspicious object” was thrown at Rachel’s Tomb, which is located next to the Lajee Center on the other side of Israel’s separation barrier.
In a statement following a violent detention raid in the camp, Lajee called the raid “part of the routine disturbance and abuse caused by Israeli soldiers,” in the camp, asserting that “military operations in the camp have caused irreversible damage to residents, especially children, who are being denied their basic right of protection against abuse and harm.”
“The unsafe living conditions in the camp due to constant presence of Israeli military forces deeply affects the health development of children and jeopardizes the future of the community,” the statement added.

The media committee of the strike said that the majority of the prisoners suffer from a sharp decline in weight and blood pressure as well as vomiting and bleeding.

Palestinian Prisoners Center for Studies warned of the blackout policy practiced by Israeli Prison Service (IPS) on the news of Palestinian hunger striking detainees in Israeli jails.
The center stated that the IPS news blackout policy reflects the seriousness of the hunger strikers’ conditions and the IPS fears that disclosing information on their conditions would lead to escalated protest moves by families of prisoners and solidarity activists.
The center’s spokesman, Riyad al-Ashqar, said the IPS allows news only on the transfer of some striking detainees to hospitals. It has also been suspending lawyer visits in full disregard to the fact that 37 days have already passed since the start of the open hunger strike, Ashqar added.
He called on humanitarian and health institutions including the International Committee of the Red Cross to intervene in order to reveal the health conditions of the hunger striking captives.
