A number of Palestinians were kidnapped and civilian homes ravaged by the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) at daybreak Thursday in abduction sweeps rocking West Bank provinces.
Israeli patrols rolled into the Jenin refugee camp and ravaged civilian homes, before they kidnapped a Palestinian citizen.
Clashes burst out in the area. Israeli soldiers opened fire at Palestinian anti-occupation youth, leaving a protester wounded. The latter was rushed to the Jenin public hospital for urgent treatment.
At the same time, the occupation forces sealed off the Jaba’ thoroughfare, south of Jenin, with a makeshift checkpoint, resulting in traffic combustion.
Meanwhile, the IOF raided al-Khalil province and kidnapped five Palestinians, before they dragged them to the Etzion detention center, north of the city.
Israeli soldiers broke into the homes of Dr. Adnan Younes and his relatives and subjected the inhabitants to intensive questioning, without prior notices. The IOF seized his son’s vehicle and smashed the families’ furniture.
At the same time, an Israeli patrol stormed the home of Palestinian MP Mohamed al-Tal in al-Dhahriya, southwest of al-Khalil, and exhaustively interrogated him.
The occupation forces rummaged into civilian homes and showered the area with heavy barrages of bullet fire.
A few hours earlier, the IOF stormed the family home of Palestinian MP Hatem Qufeisheh and summoned him to questioning at the Etzion detention center. He was released hours later, following intensive interrogation.

the soldiers as they ambushed them. ISMers were only meters away and security camera footage confirms that the boys were merely standing in the driveway at the time. Two of the boys were aged 11 and one 10.
One can only imagine the terror young boys experience when suddenly kidnapped by soldiers of the occupying army!
The Israeli Zionist forces are renowned for their cruelty even to minors: imprisoning children as young as 10 through their military courts and prisons system in which there are no rights for Palestinians. The youngest ever Palestinian child prisoner was released just days ago after a three-year prison sentence from 12 to 15 years of age.
The inhumanity of Israel is fully understood by Palestinians growing up under occupation. Collective punishment and psychological cruelty through torture and macabre tactics such as withholding bodies of Palestinians who have been killed or died during imprisonment are universally understood by Palestinians and well documented by international as well as local observers/researchers. …and there is no justice system to protect Palestinians.
Imagine what goes through the mind of a 10-year-old child suddenly grabbed by an armed solder from an occupying army and dragged from his neighbourhood! Fortunately, the boys were released after being detained for more than an hour inside the checkpoint.
Today also (December 5), 3 boys were abducted aged 14, 13 and 11. The boys attend two of the local schools and were kidnapped from the street around 300 metres from Qeitun checkpoint. They were standing in the street talking about 3 metres from an ISM activist when they were ambushed by Israeli Border Police.
The two younger boys were released later today, but the 14-year-old was taken away. According to the headmaster of the Hebron School, Khalil Abu Sunaineh, the older boy could face up to 6 months imprisonment. The military court does not need to give evidence to support any accusation on the grounds that it is “classified information”. There is a 98% conviction rate.
The headmaster showed us pictures on the wall of the school hallway, over 70 pictures taken over the last two years show child arrests, tear gas, concussion grenades both inside the school and on the street outside. They are the tip of the iceberg. He has been at the school for 14 years!

He also told us that the soldiers and border police sneak around in the middle of the night mapping the neighbourhood and planning their ambushes.
We’d witnessed this ourselves during the day. It was creepy enough in the daytime seeing soldiers just walk around in people’s gardens, exploring every alleyway, entering apartment buildings at will and ascending to the rooftops. It must feel violating to live under these circumstances.
Israeli forces justify their actions because some Palestinian children throw stones at them. To the uninformed this may seem a valid argument on the surface.
However, it’s important to remember that the Israelis are the occupiers and have absolutely no rights under international law to defend themselves from the people they occupy. They are the aggressors. They are not civil enforcement officers of the Palestinian community.
This argument also holds no water because usually in any specific situation the Israeli forces are the aggressors who initiate conflict.
Even if we accepted this erroneous argument, the children who were detained on these two days were not throwing stones. To detain, or arrest and imprison them, for what someone else has done at any time at all is unjust and a form of collective punishment.
What justification can there possibly be for concussion grenades, toxic tear gas (228 tear gas rounds were fired in the Salaymeh / Qeitun neighbourhoods in 15 school days between November 4 and November 27, 2018 (including 34 in one day!) along with 51 concussion grenades), intimidation, abduction and invasion of streets and schools by armed soldiers in residential neighbourhoods?
These are children! Such actions are totally unacceptable on minors.
Do such actions promote peace? Do they not actually sustain and deepen the inhumane occupation of the Palestinian people?
Do they not also inspire rejection of the immoral occupation, and provoke further resistance against such oppression?
Fortunately, Palestinians usually choose non-violent resistance rather than violence, leaving Israelis with the moral predicament of enforcing the immoral and illegal occupation and the international community with the shame of their inaction.
