The journalists were on their way to cover the weekly anti-settlement protest in the town, he added.

Residents of Kafr Qaddum began staging weekly protests in 2011 against land confiscations, as well as the closure of the village's southern road by Israeli forces. The road, which has been closed for 14 years, is the main route to the nearby city of Nablus, the nearest economic center.

Sawafta, a candidate in the cancelled municipal election, spent over 15 years in Israeli jails and was detained more than once in Palestinian Authority jails.

Captive Sawafta is currently detained in Negev desert jail and has been denied the right of family visitation for alleged security reasons, Tawil pointed out.

Picture
Hundreds of Israeli settlers stormed a local shrine in Nablus, triggering clashes with Palestinians

Israeli forces rounded up 17 Palestinians in overnight raids across the occupied West Bank on Wednesday as settlers forced their way into a local shrine in the occupied territory amid clashes with Palestinian youth.

In a statement, the Palestinian Prisoners’ Society said Israeli forces raided several homes in the cities of Bethlehem, Tulkarem and Jenin, detaining 17 Palestinians.

The Israeli army has yet to confirm the raids.

Israeli forces frequently carry out sweeping arrest campaigns across the West Bank that ostensibly target Palestinians "wanted" by Israeli authorities.

According to official Palestinian statistics, Israel is holding about 6,500 Palestinian prisoners, most of them residents of the occupied West Bank.

Meanwhile, hundreds of Israeli settlers stormed a local shrine in the West Bank city of Nablus on Wednesday, triggering clashes with Palestinian protesters.

According to eyewitnesses, Israeli soldiers fired teargas and rubber bullets to disperse angry Palestinians who had gathered to protest the storming at Joseph's Tomb, a holy site venerated by both Muslims and Jews.

“At least 500 Jewish settlers forced their way into the shrine and performed Talmudic rituals under the protection of Israeli forces,” Ahmed Shamekh, chairman of the services committee at the nearby Balata refugee camp, told Anadolu Agency.

According to Shamekh, dozens of Palestinian youths had gathered to protest the move, but were dispersed by Israeli soldiers.

He said two Palestinians were injured by rubber bullets, while two dozen suffered teargas inhalation.

A lawyer working for the Palestinian Prisoners’ Society (PPS) has reported that the Israeli Prison Authority in Asqalan, has transferred a hunger striking Palestinian detainee from its facility to the solitary confinement section of Ohali Kidar prison.

Lawyer Khaled Mahajna said the detainee, Bilal Thiab, 32, went on hunger strike fifteen days ago, and has been subject to constant violations since then.

He added that Thiab even stopped drinking water several days ago to pressure the Prison Authority into moving him to another prion, especially since he was held in a very small, bug-ridden dirty cell, surrounded by Israeli inmates, held for criminal offensives, and continuously shout insults and slurs at him.

The detainee has also been stripped from basic supplies, and is left with a thin torn mattress and sheet, in addition to having to use his own shoe as a pillow.

He is currently held without running water, and has not been allowed to shower or charge his clothes since he started his strike.

It is worth mentioning that Thiab, from Kafr Ra’ey town, near the northern West Bank city of Jenin, was repeatedly abducted and imprisoned, and held a 78-day hunger strike in 20012, protesting being detained under arbitrary Administrative Detention orders, without charges or trial, and was released in August of the same year.
