The fishermen are supposed to be allowed to fish within six nautical miles off the Gaza shore, but the navy continued to attack, and open fire, at Palestinian boats in Gaza waters in northern and southern Gaza.

This morning in al-Khalil (Hebron), through the Salaymeh checkpoint, a seven-year-old was forcefully detained and three more were arrested, including another child.
At 07:40, approximately six young children started throwing small stones towards the checkpoint. A few minutes later a group of Israeli border police emerged running from a road close to the schools, and more border police ran down from the checkpoint. Israeli forces threw two stun grenades and fired approximately three tear gas canisters towards the children standing outside their schools. Two border police officers grabbed 12-year-old Yousef Hajajreh by the neck and walked him to the checkpoint where he was later arrested and driven away in a police car. |

Two more border police officers forcefully dragged and carried Oday Rajabi, a seven-year-old boy, who was also on his way to school, and detained him for approximately 40 minutes.
Border police officers aggressively pushed Palestinian men, including teachers from the nearby schools, whilst they were trying to protect the children. A teacher, Abd al-Aziz Hmad Rjob, from the UN school was forced into a headlock as he was trying to intervene with the crying seven-year old. He was also dragged up the road where he was arrested. Palestinians and internationals then gathered at the Salaymeh checkpoint where an 18-year old man, Malak Salaymeh, working at the same school was also arrested as he confronted the soldiers. |
Another man was also briefly detained.
Palestinian children threw several more stones, and Israeli forces fired three more tear gas canisters.
An ISM volunteer who was present stated, “The situation was terrible, I felt like it was a planned operation where the aim was clearly to terrify schoolchildren and the soldiers were out to arrest.”
Yousef, Abd, and Malak were released at noon, roughly three hours after they were arrested.
Israeli forces have previously targeted extremely young children as they wait for school in al-Khalil; ISM has documented a number of these incidents while monitoring Salaymeh checkpoint as children pass through to go to school.

There are still 12 Palestinian journalists being held illegally in Israeli jails, the Palestinian prisoners' center for studies said on Saturday. The center described Israel's detention of so many journalists as an attempt to muzzle the Palestinian media from exposing its crimes and violations against the Palestinians.
Among the detained journalists is Mohamed Mona from Nablus and he works as a reporter for Quds Press International.
Mona, 32, was jailed in July 2013 and since them he has been administratively detained without indictment or trial.
In another context, the association of Palestinian radios and televisions said the Israeli army killed 17 journalists during its last war on the Gaza Strip, including seven in August.
Among the journalists who were killed last August was Italian photographer Simone Camille. 15 other journalists were also wounded during the same month, most of them during their coverage of protests in the West Bank.
During its war on Gaza, the Israeli army intentionally bombed nine houses belonging to journalists.
The association also said in its monthly report that the army last month detained two journalists and summoned three others for interrogation, including Anadolu cameraman Mu'aad Hamed.
During the reporting month, Israeli aerial attacks completely destroyed four media headquarters and offices in Gaza, not to mention dozens of news offices that sustained partial damage during air raids on nearby buildings.
In this regard, the association of Palestinian radios and televisions called for forming Arab and international fact-finding committees to probe Israel's killing of 17 journalists in Gaza during the war.

Israeli troops stopping cars and residents from moving in old-town Beit Sahour on Sunday Sept. 07 2014
Israeli forces invaded on Sunday afternoon the town of Beit Sahour, near the southern West Bank city of Bethlehem.
Troops surrounded the old part of town, detained around 10 youth who were at a barbershop and, then, integrated some of them.
“The soldiers took our phones and searched them, then asked us questions like where we work, what are we doing here, and asked us how much we make,” one of the detained youth told IMEMC. “They gave us no reason for their actions,” the young man added.
Troops stopped people and journalists from reaching the invaded area and detained IMEMC’s reporter, took his ID card for some time and, then, gave it back before leaving.
Israeli army invasions and kidnappings targeting local youth are reported daily across the occupied West Bank.
Last week, Israeli forces conducted at least 77 military invasions into Palestinian communities in the West Bank, the Palestinian Center for Human Rights (PCHR) reported.
During these attacks, Israeli troops kidnapped at least 60 Palestinians, including 5 children. Fourteen of these civilians were taken from Jerusalem.
