At least 28 Palestinian minors have been nabbed by the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) over the past couple of weeks while dozens of others have been left critically wounded, the Palestinian Information Ministry revealed. A report issued by the Information Ministry on Wednesday documented the abduction of 28 Palestinian children since mid-September.
The ministry denounced Israel’s mounting assaults and terror campaigns against the unarmed and innocent Palestinian children, dozens of whom sustained critical wounds due to IOF heavy gunfire and settler vandalism.
Meanwhile, the IOF rounded up Jihad al-Badawi, a news correspondent working for The Iranian Khabar TV Channel, from al-Aroub refugee camp, to the north of al-Khalil on Wednesday evening.
By-standers at the scene said the invading IOF troops blindfolded the journalist before dragging him to a military point set at the western entrance to the camp, paving the way for his transfer to the nearby Israeli Etzion detention center.

The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Wednesday afternoon stormed Wadi al-Maleh area in the northern Jordan Valley and apprehended five Palestinian farmers on charges of repairing a water well to irrigate their crops. Head of Wadi al-Maleh village council, Aref Daraghma, told a PIC correspondent: “A group of peaceful farmers gathered to repair a water well for urgent use in Wadi al-Maleh before the IOF troops suddenly raided the area and ordered them to stop the repair.”
“As soon as the Palestinian natives voiced their protest at the decision, given the fact that both the land and the water were properties of their own, the IOF nabbed all those who were present at the scene and seized their vehicle and equipment,” Daraghma confirmed.
Palestinian natives of the village have long been denied the right to use natural water supplies in the area as part of Israel’s tacit deportation schemes, he added.
Palestinian farmers and shepherds are forced to purchase costly water tanks at a time when the Israeli illegal settlers have been exploiting every water well and spring in the area, he further charged.
A similar IOF assault cropped up in al-Khalil on Wednesday afternoon as the IOF raided Jduan hamlet, east of Yatta, south of al-Khalil, and threatened to demolish Palestinians’ water wells, the WAFA News Agency quoted Rateb Jabour, coordinator of the popular committee against the wall and settlement in southern al-Khalil, as reporting.

Israeli Special Forces stormed and closed several wards in Raymond prison for the second time within a week, Palestinian Prisoners Society revealed Wednesday. A state of tension prevailed in the prison as a result, the sources added.
Israeli forces broke into section 3 two days ago where they took two prisoners, who serve high sentences, for investigation.
Meanwhile, Palestinian prisoner Ahmad al-Kot’s family appealed for his release from Israeli jails before it is too late.
The family pointed out that their son, 30, has been held in solitary confinement for more than 40 days despite his difficult health situation.
The isolated prisoner’s family called on local and international institutions to work for his release especially that he went on hunger strike protesting his poor detention conditions, holding the occupation authorities fully responsible for his life.
In the same context, Ofer military court adjourned for two days the hunger striker Raed Mussa’s hearing that was to look into an appeal against his administrative detention.
Head of the Popular Committee for the Release of Palestinian Prisoners Rajeb Abu Dik said in a press release on Wednesday that the court delayed the prisoner’s hearing on Tuesday for two days.
The prisoner’s lawyer demanded his immediate release especially that there is no charge against him, denying Israeli prosecution’s claims about his security file.
The administrative detention of prisoner Raed Mussa has been renewed for the third time in a row after being engaged in a hunger strike for 43 days protesting his administrative detention for six months for the second time.
The prisoner stopped his hunger strike after receiving promises not to renew his detention; however, he resumed his strike eight days ago when the Israeli authorities renewed his detention without charge or trial for the third consecutive time.

The Hebron office of the Palestinian Prisoners Society (PPS) has reported that the Israeli army kidnapped 165 Palestinians, including 40 children and 25 patients, in the southern West Bank district of Hebron, in September, and imposed high fines on many detainees.
The PPS in Hebron said 70 of the kidnapped Palestinians have been moved into Administrative Detention, without charges, and that the soldiers kidnapped 40 children, 25 Palestinians who suffer from chronic diseases, 20 school and college students, and imposed fines mounting to 50.000 NIS on several detainees.
Head of the Hebron office of the PPS Amjad Najjar said most of the kidnapped Palestinians, and many family members, have been beaten and assaulted by the soldiers, who searched and ransacked their homes and properties.
Najjar added that the army issued arbitrary Administrative Detention orders against 70 detainees, forcing them behind bars without charges or trial for different periods.
He added that the Hebron district witnessed the largest number of kidnappings in the occupied West Bank in September, similar to several previous months.
Najjar further stated the soldiers are ongoing with their abuse and violations against the children, adding that the soldiers kidnapped 40 children (below the age of 17).
Some of the kidnapped children have been identified as Wasim ‘Adel Abu Hussein, Yazan Yousef Lafy, Fares at-Teety, Malek Salayma, and Mohammad Yacoub an-Natsha, 14.
The PPS said the soldiers also kidnapped 25 Palestinians, who suffer from several chronic diseases and illnesses, and require constant medical attention and treatment.
Detainee Ibrahim Mahmoud al-Hammal, 40, suffers from meningitis (a bacterial infection of the membranes covering the brain and spinal cord), and detainee Faisal Talal al-Qawasma suffers from a heart disease, Hepatitis and Rheumatism.
Najjar said Israel uses the issue of the ailing detainees in an attempt to blackmail them and their families, in direct violation of the Third and Fourth Geneva Conventions that grants all prisoners the right to adequate medical care and attention.
Israel also stepped-up its illegal policies of imposing high fines, by imposing at least 50.000 New Israeli Shekels in fines against detainees from Hebron, in September alone.
Najjar stated that policy of imposing high fines is theft practiced by Israel against the detainees, and their families, especially amidst the very difficult economic conditions they face.
He demanded legal and international human rights groups to act on ending the escalating Israeli violations of International Law, the Fourth Geneva Convention, and every Human Rights treaty, and to oblige Tel Aviv to stop its violent arrest campaigns, and ongoing invasions, destruction of property and assassinations.
In related news, Israeli soldiers of the Nahshon Battalion Brigade, operating in prisons and detention camps, invaded on Wednesday various rooms of Palestinian detainees in different sections of the Ramon Israeli Prison, and attacked several them.
