Palestinian Interrogated for Posting Photo of al-Aqsa Mosque
Picture
Israeli police in occupied Jaffa were reported to have interrogated a young Palestinian man for posting a photo on his Facebook page, while visiting al-Aqsa Mosque courtyards.

According to Al Ray, a local website reported that the Israeli police chased 34-year-old Nidal Mashharawi after he posted his photo on Facebook, in which he expressed his joy for praying in the mosque after occupation authorities decided to open the mosque for Muslims of all ages.

He turned himself in to the police after he relaized that they were looking for him. After hours of investigation, he was finally released.

In the past, Mashharwi created a page on Facebook called “ I am ready to die for al-Aqsa” to express his feelings, but Israeli police raided his home and arrested him, upon which an Israeli judge banned him from visiting Jerusalem for 30 days.

At Least 380 Palestinians Kidnapped by Israeli Forces in Past 3 Weeks
Picture
Israeli forces have taken captive at least 380 Palestinians, in raids across the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem, over the past 20 days, including 21 on Thursday alone.

The Palestinian Prisoners Society stated that Israeli authorities have engaged in a wide-ranging crackdown on Palestinians which has led to the arrests of nearly 200 people in East Jerusalem since the beginning of November.

Ma'an News Agency reports that these figures come amid a growing instability in Jerusalem, while daily protest marches by Palestinians have been held across the city, as Israeli authorities are once again accused of implementing a collective punishment in their response to a series of attacks on Israelis by individual Jerusalem Palestinians. Reports of serious violence against and, even, the murder of Palestinians by Israelis are surfacing at an almost daily rate.

In addition to some 190 Palestinians detained in occupied East Jerusalem, the PPS said that 70 were taken from Hebron, 32 from Ramallah, 24 from Bethlehem, 18 from Jenin, 14 from Tulkarem, 14 from Nablus, nine from Tubas, five from Salfit and four from Qalqiliya.

The arrests add to the more than 5,000 Palestinians who are already being held in Israeli prisons, including hundreds without charge or trial, under a procedure known as "administrative detention" which dates back to the time of British Mandate Palestine.

On Thursday morning, Israeli forces reportedly abducted dozens more across East Jerusalem and the West Bank, both of which have been under Israeli military occupation since 1967.

A military spokesman said that they detained 20 Palestinians in the West Bank, including five "suspected of taking part in riots in Jenin (refugee) camp," three east of Qalqiliya, two southeast of Ramallah, eight in the Bethlehem area, three in al-Fawwar refugee camp south of Hebron, three in Deir Samit west of Hebron, and one in Beit Awwa southwest of Hebron.

PPS was able to identify only fourteen of those taken in the West Bank.

According to their statement, Abd al-Rahman Atiq and Ahmad Mahmoud Jumaa were detained in Jenin in the northern West Bank.

In Bethlehem, troops detained 19-year-old Zeidan Mahmoud Hayyan, while in Qalqiliya, to the north, forces took both 17-year-old Abdullah Khirfan and his brother Muhammad, 21.

North of Hebron, 20-year-old Iyad Omar Sabarna, 25-year-old Rami Khalid Sabarna, and 29-year-old Ayman Zaaqiq were taken in Beit Ummar.

Israeli forces also kidnapped Rami Jihad al-Khatib, Khalid al-Hroub, Islam al-Hidmi, Khalid Baradiya, Hamza al-Adam and Muhammad al-Harbi from different Hebron district villages.

In East Jerusalem, PPS stated that Israeli police detained seven young men and minors.

Lawyer Mufid al-Hajj, who works with the society, identified four detainees as Ahmad Agha, Samir Najib, and Ubada Najib (all minors), in addition to Wahid Bakri.

The wave of abductions comes as Israeli authorities continue with a summer arrest campaign which led to the jailing of thousands of Palestinians suspected in taking part in protests against the Israeli assault on Gaza which left nearly 2,200 Palestinians dead, in addition to the brutal murder of Palestinian teenager Muhammad Abu Khdeir, who was burned to death by a group of Israeli settlers on July 2nd.


Report: 10,000 Palestinian children nabbed since 2000
Picture
More than 10,000 Palestinian children have served time in Israeli jails since 2000, PA Minister in charge of prisoners’ affairs Issa Qaraqaa said in a press release on Wednesday.

The statement came on the anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on 20 November 1989 and entered into force on 2 September 1990.

300 Palestinian children are currently held behind Israeli bars, according to the statement.

Since June 2014, Israeli occupation forces arrested nearly 3,000 Palestinian citizens, 30% of whom were children. Most of the reported arrests were carried out in occupied Jerusalem, where 850 Jerusalemites were nabbed during the reporting period.

95% of the detained children were subjected to torture and severe beating during their arrest and investigation process as part of the Israeli policy to forcibly extract confessions from the detainees, Qaraqaa added.

The minister for prisoners’ affairs called for cancelling the Israeli bill to impose additional penalties on Palestinian children, who throw stones at Israeli soldiers, that could reach 20-year imprisonment sentences.

Israel does not provide any immunity for children and regularly violates international agreements on children's rights by humiliating and torturing them and denying them fair trials, the PA official concluded.

Twelve Palestinians Injured, One Seriously, In Jerusalem
Picture
Medical sources have reported that at least twelve Palestinians have been injured by Israeli army fire in occupied East Jerusalem; one of them suffered a serious head injury, while more than 35 suffered the effects of tear gas inhalation. Soldiers also attacked a blind woman, a cancer patient, and kidnapped several Palestinians.

Dr. Amin Abu Ghazala, in charge of the Emergency Unit of the Red Crescent in Jerusalem, said at least twelve Palestinians have been shot by rubber-coated metal bullets; four of them have been hospitalized after suffering injuries to their face and heads.

Abu Ghazala added that at least 35 Palestinians suffered the effects of tear gas inhalation, and received treatment by local medics.

Medical sources in Sur Baher town, in Jerusalem, said one child was shot by a rubber-coated metal bullet in the head, and was moved to a local hospital suffering a serious injury.

The Maan News Agency has reported that clashes took place in Sur Baher after undercover soldiers invaded it, broke into a number of homes before kidnapping three young Palestinians, and attacked their family members.

Resident Ahmad Khader Nimir told Maan that many soldiers, accompanied by military dogs, invaded his home, and attacked the family while violently searching the property.

He said the soldiers assaulted his 52-year-old blind wife, and a young cancer patient, causing several injuries; his wife was moved to a local hospital for treatment.

Nimir added that the soldiers kidnapped his sons Tareq, 30, and Rashed, 24.

Eyewitnesses said the soldiers also fired rounds of live ammunition, and concussion grenades in front of Nimir’s house.

Soldiers also invaded the home of Nimir Hammad, 33, in Jabal Za’qouqa area in Sur Baher, and searched his property before attacking and kidnapping him.

A child, identified as Amir Abu Jamal was moved to the al-Makassed Hospital suffering sharp respiratory issued due to the effects of tear gas inhalation.

In the at-Tour town, local youths clashed with Israeli soldiers and police officers, and hurled stones and Molotov cocktails at them; one police vehicle was partially burnt.

Soldiers fired dozens of gas bombs and rubber-coated metal bullets at Palestinian youths near the al-Makassed Hospital, and occupied rooftops of several homes in the area.

In addition, clashes took place in Silwan town after undercover forces invaded it, and fired rubber-coated metal bullets wounding two young Palestinians.

Clashes, Further Settler Violence Following Release of Synagogue Attack Suspects
Picture
Israeli police released nine relatives of two Palestinian attackers who had been detained earlier in the day, Tuesday. Meanwhile, clashes continue in Jerusalem and the occupied West Bank.

Israeli police raided the Jabal al-Mukabbir neighborhood, Tuesday, where they detained 12 family members of Ghassan Abu Jamal and his cousin Uday, after they entered a synagogue in Jerusalem with meat cleavers, knives and guns, killing five Israelis.

A lawyer for Addameer said that two brothers of Abu Jamal and the brother of Uday are still in custody.

Meanwhile, in East Jerusalem, clashes continued after police refused to return the bodies of the attackers to their families, due to ongoing investigations.

Israeli forces fired tear gas at protesters and a tent set up for mourners, according to Ma'an.

Clashes also reportedly occurres in the Sur Bahir, Wadi al-Joz, and al-Tur neighborhoods.

Right-wing Israelis gathered and chanted anti-Palestinian slogans in Sur Bahir while, in al-Tur, an Israeli opened fire in the air after youths threw stones at his car.

In the occupied West Bank, Israeli settlers smashed the windshields of several Palestinian vehicles in the Nablus district.

Mr. Arif al-Tahir, from Nablus, said that he witnessed dozens of settlers smashing windshields near the Huwwara military checkpoint in the presence of Israeli soldiers.

A local Fateh leader, Awwad Naji, said that Israeli soldiers told shop owners to shut down their stores and move their vehicles, in order to avoid having them damaged by settlers.

Meanwhile, settler attacks also occurred in the village of al-Lubban al-Sharqiyya, and near Yatta, to the south of Hebron.

Three Palestinians, on Wednesday, survived a car-ramming attack along bypass road ‘60’, where a settler deliberately drove toward them, in an attempt to run them over.

Maher al-Kaabneh, and two brothers Suliman and Ibrahim al-Kaabneh, sought shelter behind the stone wall along the road, and managed to escape, according to WAFA.

Attacks by illegal Israeli settlers against Palestinians and their property are commonplace in the occupied territories, but are rarely prosecuted by authorities, let alone reported by mainstream press, while retaliatory attacks by Palestinians are typically spotlighted as the actions of terrorists.

Israeli court renews administrative detention of sick detainee
Picture
An Israeli court re-sentenced Palestinian prisoner patient Adnan Hamarsha administratively to six more months in jail.

Head of the Ahrar Center for Prisoner Studies and Human Rights, Fuad al-Khuffash, said a stroke hit prisoner Hamarsha, 45, leading to a remarkable exacerbation in his health status.

Hamarsha is unable to stand up on his own feet due to the balance impairment inflicted by the brain attack.

Both the detainee and his wife were captured on February 16, 2014. The wife had been locked-up for eight months before she was ultimately released while wheel-chaired Hamarsha is still incarcerated in Megiddo jail, Khuffash further reported.

In another development, Palestinian hunger-striking prisoner detainee Raed Mousa, who has been on hunger strike for 57 uninterrupted days, vowed to keep going until the Israeli occupation authorities (IOA) release him.

Mousa attributed his decision to the fact that the IOA did not offer legal guarantees for his freedom next month following a court order ruling his release on 21st December.

Lawyer of the prisoners committee, Karim Ajwa, sounded distress signals over the detainee's deteriorating health status. 

The lawyer said following a visit he paid to Mousa Tuesday at the Barzillai hospital that the prisoner’s physical condition has become quite alarming as the latter has been diagnosed with liver and kidney disorders in addition to remarkable weight-loss.

It added that the child was transferred to a hospital in the city after becoming unable to move one of his arms and one of his legs.

Also in Jerusalem, small groups of Israeli extremists invaded the yards of the Al-Aqsa Mosque through the al-Magharba Gate, under heavy Israeli military presence.

PFLP claims responsibility for synagogue attack

Israeli forces arrested early Tuesday 21 Palestinians, including three minors, from the West Bank and Jerusalem, in addition to 14 members of the family of two Palestinian suspects in regard to an attack on a West Jerusalem synagogue. PFLP has reportedly claimed responsibility for the attack.

According to reports by local sources and the Palestinian Prisoner’s Club (PPC), Israeli police raided various Palestinian neighborhoods in occupied East Jerusalem, where they abducted several Palestinians.

WAFA Palestinian News & Info Agency stated that police arrested Akram al-Shurafa, one of the Al-Aqsa Mosque guards, Taha Shawahna, who was also assaulted, Omar Abu al-Hawa, Mustafa al-Qawasmi and Ra’eda Abu Hadwan. Eight other Jerusalemites taken during the raid were unidentified.

In Hebron, Israeli forces kidnapped three minors near the entrance of Beit Ummar, to the north of Hebron. The youth were identified as Wasim Abu Maria, 14, Ahmad al-Slaibi and ‘Abdallah Abu Maria, age 15.

Forces raided several Hebron neighborhoods, setting up checkpoints at the entrances of Sa‘ir and Halhul bridge, to the north and northeast of Hebron, where they stopped and inspected Palestinian-registered vehicles and examined passengers’ ID cards.

Dozens of Israeli settlers attacked passing Palestinian vehicles with stones, on Tuesday, near the town of Tarqumia, to the west of Hebron.

Witnesses said that the settlers, backed by an Israeli army force, broke into a highway connecting the nearby town of Idna with the city of Hebron, where they blocked the road and pelting Palestinian vehicles with stones, causing damages.

No injuries were reported.

The assault came just hours after a similar attack by settlers on a Palestinian school in the village of Urif, to the south of Nablus, while they also blocked a nearby road.

At least four Palestinians, including a press cameraman working for Reuters News Agency, were injured on Tuesday during confrontations in Urif.

Three Palestinians were shot and injured by rubber-coated steel bullets, and were transferred to a nearby medical facility.

Abdul-Rahim Qusini, a press cameraman with Reuters News Agency, was reportedly hit with a stone during the confrontations and also taken to a hospital for medical treatment.

Cases of teargas suffocation were also reported.

In the Ramallah district, four Israeli military vehicles and three troop carriers raided the town of Silwan, to the northeast of the city, and kidnapped Nash’at Jum‘ah, age 20, after breaking into his family’s house.

Forces also raided Bil‘in village, where they took Majdi Burnat, 20, Samih al-Khatib, 19, and Muhammad Yasin, 20, after breaking into and ransacking their homes.

Meanwhile, in the Tulkarem district, forces raided Shwaika village, to the north of the city, where they abducted Ahmad Ikbariya after breaking into his family’s house.

Also on Tuesday, Israeli police took into custody around 14 members of the family of the two Palestinians suspected of an attack on a West Jerusalem synagogue facility.

WAFA correspondence further reports that hundreds of police officers raided and closed off Jabal al-Mukaber, where the houses of the two suspects are located, attacking two homes of Abu Jamal family with tear gas, stun grenades and rubber-coated steel bullets.

Forces took 14 members of Abu Jamal family, spurring clashes and injuring 22 others at the scene.

The two suspects were shot dead early Tuesday, by police, following the attack which killed five Israelis, according to WAFA. They were identified as Ghassan and Udayy Abu Jamal.

Indian news site, The Hindu, stated that the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) announced, via e-mail, that the two attackers are members of the group, and that “the attack was a natural response to the Israeli attacks on Jerusalem and on the Palestinians”.

Rabah Muhana, a senior PFLP leader from Gaza, said that “Palestinians should work hard on making the Israeli occupation of our territories illegal by unifying our efforts and ending the internal Palestinian division”.

Picture
Head of Prisoners Committee Issa Qaraqe said, Monday, that some 1,500 Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails are suffering from various diseases, including 25 cases of cancer.

Mr. Qaraqe says that medical negligence has been a systematic policy by the Israeli Prison Service, according to WAFA correspondence. He notes that three prisoners recently warned to launch a hunger strike against their deteriorating health conditions -- this in addition to several others who are also engaged in ongoing hunger strikes.

The official demonstrated cases of deliberate medical negligence, including urgently needed surgery, as well as cases of numbness and paralysis.

More than 5,000 Palestinian prisoners are still detained in Israeli prisons, of whom dozens are serving a life sentence.

The number of sick prisoners detained in Israeli jails has now reached 1,500, WAFA reports, of whom 80 are suffering from serious health problems and do not receive adequate treatment.
