Israel demolishes West Bank homes of 2 Palestinian attackers

As of April this year, the Israel Prison Service facilities is said to be holding 692 Palestinians in administrative detention, including two women and thirteen minors, Israeli human rights organization B’Tselem reports.

She had been riding her bicycle on the paved part of a road leading up to the Tomb of the Patriarchs/ Ibrahimi Mosque holy site, which is restricted for use by Jewish settlers and Israelis while Palestinians are ordered to use an unsurfaced pathway on the other side of a fence. But Israeli officials say the organisation is becoming increasingly effective.

Salam said that on election day, March 17, 2015, Abbas called him and enticed him to bolster the turnout in his city, the largest Arab city in Israel, with the hope that this would translate into more votes for the Arab parties (which ran on a joint list called the Joint Arab List). The police officer then threw the bicycle into the bushes.

Eight-year-old Anwar Burqan lives nearby with her parents and six of her siblings.

The girl’s mother, Ranya, said that Anwar has been scared to leave the house ever since the incident.

In an English-language statement released on Wednesday, the legislature said the “Youth Bill” passed its second and third readings on Tuesday night. “Following a preliminary examination, the Israel Border Police Commander instructed to have the officer immediately suspended from operational activity”.

The confrontation, captured by Raed Abu Ramileh, whose home overlooks the street, has provoked fresh outrage over the treatment of Palestinians in Hebron, which is divided between Palestinian Authority and Israeli control.

Since the divider was built, B’Tselem said Israeli forces have consistently prevented Palestinians from accessing the boulevard it buffers.

More than 220 Palestinians, including children and women, have lost their lives at the hands of Israeli forces in what is regarded as the third Palestinian Intifada (uprising) since the beginning of last October. At least 205 Palestinians have also been killed, mainly by Israeli forces.

Noting how the Palestinian child gave the Israeli soldiers a high-five, rather than throwing a rock at them, as his father commanded him to do in the footage, Netanyahu noted, “It’s hard to make a four-year-old hate”.

The young USA activists were attempting to enter Israel and go to Palestine to observe the conflict on the ground and gain a better understanding of the conditions Palestinians live under amid the Israeli occupation.
