In the meantime, IOF soldiers in a flock of Israeli military jeeps stormed Jenin’s refugee camp, in the northern West Bank, and ransacked civilian homes before they kidnapped two Palestinian young men, identified as Nour al-Hendi and Hamouda Abu Khalifa.

The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) arrested some 14,000 Palestinians in the occupied Palestinian territories over the last two years, according to a rights group.
Palestine Center for Prisoners’ Studies said that 14,000 Palestinians were detained since the start of Jerusalem Intifada on Oct.1, 2015 including 3100 minors, 437 women, and 450 online activists.
Almost all the detainees were subjected to psychological or physical torture in Israeli detention and investigation centers in total violation to international laws and conventions, the center added.
The rise in Israeli arrests has been intensified after the Jerusalem Intifada, according to the source.
2860 administrative detention orders was issued over the reported period, 17 of which were issued against female detainees while 42 others targeted minor detainees.
65 young girls were among the female detainees, six of them suffered live shot injuries during their arrest.
16 Palestinian MPs were also detained over the reported period, ten of them are still being held in Israeli jails.
The figures also documented the arrest of 150 elderly people, 39 academics, 240 patients and disabled people, and 115 journalists.

Elor Azaria, an Israeli soldier who murdered a Palestinian in cold blood, just had his already-derisory sentence reduced by the army chief of staff.
Azaria became a hero to many in Israel after the incident last year at an illegal Israeli checkpoint in Hebron, a city in the occupied West Bank.
Abd al-Fattah Yusri al-Sharif and Ramzi Aziz al-Qasrawi, both 21, were shot dead by Israeli soldiers in March last year. The Israeli government accused them of stabbing and moderately wounding a soldier in the Tel Rumeida neighbourhood of Hebron’s Old City.
Azaria was caught on camera as he calmly and deliberately shot al-Sharif in the head as the youth lay badly wounded and completely subdued on the ground.
During the trial, Azaria was offered support from the highest political levels, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu calling for him to be pardoned altogether.
In February this year Azaria was sentenced to a derisory 18 months in prison.
If Palestinian lives were deemed of any value at all in in Israel, Azaria would have been given life in prison. Instead he was given a slap on the wrist. And now, his sentence has been reduced on military order to 14 months.
After this has been reduced by another six months, as seems likely, for “good behaviour,” Azaria will likely spend no more than eight months in jail. Little illustrates the apartheid nature of Israeli “justice” better than this.
By way of contrast, 21-year-old Ahmad Yasser Baraghithi was in 2014 sentenced to eight years in jail for allegedly throwing stones at Israeli occupation forces in Jerusalem during Palestinian protests against Israeli occupation. That’s eight years, not the token eight months the killer Azaria seems likely to serve.
The fact that Azaria will serve any time in jail at all is only down to the brave Palestinian volunteer who filmed the graphic video of Azaria calmly butchering al-Sharif. Israeli settlers on the scene are heard in the video shouting, “the terrorist is still alive,” and the “the dog is still alive.”
During the trial, the court heard that what Azaria did was very much routine practice by the Israeli army, who murder Palestinians in the West Bank on a routine basis.
“In terrorist incidents I witnessed, I saw with my own eyes that in every instance in which a terrorist attacked, soldiers shot him in the centre of mass until he was neutralized … and [shot] a bullet to the head to ensure that the terrorist could not set off a suicide belt or continue the attack. These soldiers never went to court,” a long-time civilian security chief for Jewish settlers in Hebron, told the court.
The Palestinians who filmed the video and gave it to Israeli human rights group B’Tselem have received death threats for exposing the crime.
Many other Palestinians spend far longer in jail than Azaria, often for “crimes” that amount to nothing more than simply speaking out against Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestine.
Palestinian poet and photographer Dareen Tatour spent more than a year and three months in jail and house arrest for the “crime” of writing a poem entitled “Resist, my people, resist them.” The poem called on Palestinians to fight back against Israeli occupation, to “Resist the colonialist’s onslaught” and “Pay no mind to his agents among us.” Israel has a long history of criminalizing such literary expression of the Palestinian liberation struggle.
Lina Khattab is a young Palestinian who in 2014 and 2015 spent almost as much time in jail as Azaria seems likely to now. Her “crime” was to dance at a protest against Israeli occupation, which they had deemed an “illegal demonstration.” Pretty much any demonstration Palestinians organize against occupation in the West Bank is deemed “illegal” by Israel, which likes to portray a thin veneer of legality for its sponsors and political allies in the West.
Israel’s “military courts” are sham show trials which have no credibility whatsoever when it comes to Palestinian accused. Judges and prosecutors alike are all Israeli soldiers, and we are supposed to buy the Israeli propaganda which claims that this fix of a system will hold the occupation authorities to account? No.
Israel’s kangaroo courts system has a 99.7 per cent conviction rate – for Palestinians alone. This is yet another cold hard fact which makes Israel’s system in the occupied West Bank a racist one – a systematic apartheid reality, backed to the hilt by the US and the EU.

The Israeli occupation authorities renewed the administrative sentence of the Hamas leader Abdul Khaleq al-Natshah, aged 61, for the second consecutive time.
The Israeli prison authorities re-sentenced al-Natshah to another four-month prison term, with neither charge nor trial.
Al-Natshah was kidnapped by the Israeli occupation forces on June 9, 2017, from his home in Jabal al-Rahma, in al-Khalil. He had been subjected to exhaustive interrogation prior to his arrest. In 2002 the Israeli authorities knocked down his home.
Al-Natshah has been diagnosed with life-threatening cardio-vascular and kidney disorders. He has spent a total of over 18 years in Israeli lock-ups.

Several Israeli army jeeps invaded, earlier on Sunday morning, the town of Doha, west of the West Bank city of Bethlehem, searched many homes and injured many Palestinians before abducting one woman, and caused fires in two homes.
The invasion was carried out by a large military force before the soldiers initiated violent searches of many homes after breaking into them, especially near a mosque, in the center of the town.
Medical sources said many Palestinians were injured by live Israeli army fire following clashes that took place in the center of the town.
The soldiers also abducted several Palestinians during the home invasions and violent searches; one of them is a woman, identified as Amal Abdullah Sa’adi, 52.
Also, a fire, resulting from the Israeli concussion grenades, burnt various sections of a home, owned by Mohammad Khalil Soubani, before Palestinian firefighters rushed to extinguish it.
Furthermore, the soldiers surrounded another home, inhabited by members of Sa’ad family, and invaded it before collecting medication and their containers, and detonated them in the property, causing fires and extensive damage. Palestinian firefighters managed to contain the fire, but after it caused serious damage.
It is worth mentioning that the soldiers have abducted at least six Palestinians from their homes, in different parts of the West Bank.
The army also claimed it managed to locate four pistols in Bani Neim town, east of the southern West Bank city of Hebron.
