The administration of the Al-Makassed Islamic Charitable Society Hospital in Jerusalem has reported that the hospital has been a frequent target of Israeli military invasions and attacks, and that the soldiers are also trying to access patients' records. Latest invasion was carried out Wednesday.
Head of the hospital, Dr. Rafiq al-Husseini, said the employees and physicians have been repeatedly ordered to hand patients' records to the army, including admissions and reasons for hospitalization, but they refused despite pressures and threats, and insisted on respecting the patients' privacy. On Wednesday, dozens of soldiers surrounded the hospital and invaded it, for the second consecutive day, and attempted to access medical files, especially the file of a Jerusalem child who was recently admitted, and was released later, before the soldiers kidnapped him. Al-Husseini told the Maan News Agency that the soldiers found a prescription issued from the hospital in the home of the child from Jerusalem, and that the soldiers claimed "this is how they found out where he received treatment for his wounds, and came to the conclusion he was shot by the army." He added that the hospital is a charitable society, and frequently provides medical services to patients, and wounded Palestinians, without even opening new records for one-time visits. Al-Husseini said neither the doctors, nor the administration, will ever violate the patients' privacy, and will never provide Israel or any authority any information. |
"We have no legal responsibility to inform the occupation army and the police about anything we do in this charitable hospital," he added, "Our medical teams are here to help the patients, the wounded, and any person who needs our services."
"The Israeli military has invaded our hospital two days in a row; yesterday they even interrogated one of our doctors at a police station in Jabal al-Mokabber in Jerusalem, today, they invaded the hospital again and confiscated a computer that runs our surveillance system."
Dr. al-Husseini also stated that the hospital believes the military invasions will continue, especially since they were never able to find records, or documents, in addition to the frequent threats, and attempts to intimidate the staff, including physicians and nurses.
He added that the soldiers also took the names and phone number of several employees, especially those who work in Emergency and Urgent Care Units, in order to summon them for interrogation.
Dr. al-Husseini stated that the Wednesday invasion targeted the administration building and the maternity ward, leading to arguments with the medical teams, the patients and their families who protested this outrageous violation.
"The hospital became a repeated target for the Israeli army; they violate the patients' rights on a daily basis," he said, "The Israeli violations against Palestinian medical facilities and crews violate International Law, the Fourth Geneva Convention and every related international resolution.”
The doctor also called on the international community to intervene, and provide the urgently needed protection to the Palestinian people, especially the patients.

The Israeli Prosecutor’s Office stated, Wednesday, that the young Palestinian woman who was shot and wounded in Affoula (near Nazareth), on October 10, did not intend to carry out a stabbing attack.
Israeli Channel 2 said that the investigation revealed that young woman, Israa’ ‘Aabed never intended to carry out an attack, and that the Israeli Security Services also agree with the same conclusion. The young woman was surrounded by Israeli soldiers, who shot repeatedly shot her, although she was surrounded, and had both of her hands raised, in clear sight of the soldiers. |
Channel Two said the young woman “was facing certain conditions that caused her to act in a suspicious manner,” and “that is why she carried a knife, but never intended to carry out an attack.”
It added that the Israeli officers who shot and wounded the young woman will not be facing any charges.
According to the Israeli report, the investigation revealed that ‘Aabed went to the Central Bus Station in Affoula, and although she carried a knife in her bag, she never attempted to use it, even when she stood next to a young Jewish man and had the opportunity to do so.”
It also said that the young man walked towards Israeli soldiers and shouted “terrorist” at them to try “to get them to shoot and kill her, but they shot her in her legs, inflicting moderate wounds.”
The Israeli Prosecutors decided to that the Aabed will not be facing charges for attempting an attack for “nationalistic motives,” but will later be facing a criminal indictment.
Arab Members of Knesset expressed their rejection to Israeli decision not to indict any of the soldiers who shot the young woman, although she never posed any threat to them or anybody else. The legislators condemned the police and the army for indiscriminately shooting Palestinians, killing and wounding them, just for suspecting they intend to carry out an attack.
The woman’s father, Sheikh Zeidan Aabed, said the Police informed him dis daughter will be indicted Thursday, and they will be releasing her soon after.
“My daughter never intended to attack anybody,” he said, “The latest developments disprove all previous Israeli allegations.”

The morning of October 26th, four high-risk locations near schools in Hebron were monitored by international human rights workers, and all four saw incidents of violence to Palestinians and internationals at the hands of Israeli forces and illegal settlers.
At the Qurtuba school location, two international observers were denied their legal right to stand ten meters from the checkpoint while counting children passing and recording any incidents. A police officer demanded both passports, copied down some information onto paper, and angrily barked orders for one observer to give his name. |
The international was confused, as the officer was holding his government identification, until it became clear he was attempting to read it right-to-left, as though it were Hebrew.
The internationals retreated, but then soon decided to observe from the top of a stairwell for which they were previously given permission. Illegal settler and frequent violent offender Anat Cohen came out of adjacent Beit Hadassah illegal settlement, screaming and charging at the observers, then striking one observer with a closed fist in the back of the head. Six soldiers standing five feet from her made no attempt to prevent the assault or intervene after the fact, and the observers continued up the stairs while Anat continued screaming obscenities.
Today at the Salaymeh checkpoint, through which children pass to attend three different schools, two international observers witnessed soldiers provoking the children on their way school by pretending to shoot at them. Israeli forces opened fire with rounds of tear gas at children gathered in this dense urban area, where the buildings are tall and close together, and there is nowhere to quickly escape the thick clouds of CN particles. Suddenly, two soldiers charged toward a cluster of children and fired tear-gas again, at 20 meters, dangerously close range. In total more than thirteen tear gas canisters were shot over approximately fifty children. A settler was watching the scene, visibly enjoying it and photographing the pupils and internationals.
The Al Faihaa Basic School is situated at the end of Shuhada street. This morning, two internationals who were stationed there, along with a caretaker who lives at the school stood in front of the gates, hurrying the girls into the school-grounds, watching for fast passing illegal settler vehicles, and accompanying the girls across the road. He explained that lately, teachers and school officials have been particularly worried that a student will be attacked or kidnapped on the way to school in light of recent settler violence. Tear-gas fired on children at nearby Salaymeh and Queitun checkpoints entered Faihaa school through the windows around 8am, during the morning assembly.
Teachers hurried to close the windows to protect themselves and the children against it, but one teacher called to say she would be absent from school as she had to be rushed to hospital for teargas exposure, and another who was in attendance had to be administered an oxygen mask due to excessive teargas inhalation sustained on the way to and within the school yard. The school was closed at 9.30 due to teargas, and it was later reported from teachers in the school that 3 girls had been attacked on the way to school. An illegal settler attempted to run one over, a second had stones thrown at her by settler children, and a third was grabbed by the neck by settlers and threatened before being released.
In the streets surrounding the Salymeh and Queitun checkpoints, over 30 youth, whose schools had already been closed due to excessive teargas in the area, were chanting and approaching the checkpoint. Israeli Forces shot at least 24 rounds of teargas at the youth, and clashes lasted until at least 9:15AM. An ambulance and several cars had to drive through the teargas. It was reported that approximately 50 children had already been taken to the hospital that morning due to teargas related medical issues.

Daily clashes have broken out across the occupied Palestinian territory since the beginning of the month, during which at least 25 Palestinians have been shot dead by Israeli forces.
Those killed in clashes are among the 60 Palestinians who have been killed by Israeli forces during the time period, several of whom have been shot dead after carrying out stabbing attacks.
At least 10 Israelis have been killed by Palestinians during the same time period, with another Israeli Jewish man shot and killed by Israeli police who mistook him for a Palestinian attacker.
Clashes initially began to escalate following the fatal shooting of two Israeli settlers on Oct. 1 by suspected Palestinian gunmen, as well as increased restrictions on Palestinian entry to the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
The UN Secretary-General said, Thursday, that while Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu and the Palestinian Authority have pledged to curb violence, “this crisis would not have erupted....if the Palestinians did not still live under a stifling and humiliating occupation that has lasted almost half a century.”
