Israeli settlers from Areil settlement, illegally built north of Salfit, stole stones from the city to pave new streets for newly built settlement units.
Eyewitnesses told the PIC reporter that Israeli bulldozers were leveling the area and left with several massive stones.
Palestinian researcher Khaled Maali affirmed that Israeli occupation authorities violate the article 55 of the Fourth Protocol to the Hague Convention which states that “The occupying State shall be regarded only as administrator and usufructuary of public buildings, real estate, forests, and agricultural estates belonging to the hostile State, and situated in the occupied country.
It must safeguard the capital of these properties, and administer them in accordance with the rules of usufruct.”

Physicians for Human Rights – Israel (PHRI) has been under attack by a right wing group named Reservists on Duty, which called for funding to be cut for National Service positions at PHRI.
The group also called for the cancellation of PHRI’s participation in a course entitled “Equality and Justice regarding Health in the South” run by the Beersheba Municipality.
Such attacks are yet another sign of the shrinking space available to civil society organizations which oppose the occupation.
PHRI currently doesn’t have National Service staff members, but such an option must remain available so that younger generations of Israelis are exposed to the struggle to secure basic human rights – the foundation of any solid democracy.
Moreover, the inclusion of voices like PHRI’s in initiatives such as those run by Beersheba Municipality are vital to ensure a critical discussion on the right to health.
As stated by Ran Goldstein, PHRI’s Executive Director, in response to the attack “Such attacks force us to turn our attention away from the real problems we are dealing with, such as the important gaps in health services between the periphery and the center of Israel”.
This attack forms part of a trend of intimidation and harassment of organizations and activists by both right wing organization and the government.
It follows on the heels of the recent efforts of right-wing Members of Knesset to deny PHRI of its’ tax exempt status. All these steps have the aim of undermining the legitimacy and efforts of those who are fighting against the occupation.

Meanwhile, the Israeli researcher Yitzhak Reiter, who chairs the Department of Land-of-Israel Studies at Ashkelon Academic College, said that Israeli settlers’ break-ins into the holy shrine are expected to increase in the near future.

Jewish youngsters were arrested on suspicion of kicking a Palestinian youth and stealing his cellphone in what is believed to be a nationalistically-motivated attack; all the suspects, one of whom is an IDF soldier, have denied all charges.
Five youths from Jerusalem were arrested over the past week on suspicion of kicking a young Palestinian boy and stealing his cellphone.
After launching an investigation into the incident, the police suspect that the attack was nationalistically motivated. Indeed, investigators believe that the perpetrators had already determined that the victim would be an Arab.
The youth who was attacked, a resident of East Jerusalem, did not require medical treatment. The arrests of two of the suspects were extended while a the third suspect was released on condition by the courts. The remaining two suspects were only arrested on Wednesday and discussions are due to be held as to whether their detention will be extended on Friday.
The incident took place on Saturday in the Jerusalem neighborhood of Gilo, after which all those involved fled the scene and were all eventually arrested at a later date after an investigation was launched which included the analysis of CCTV footage. One of those arrested is a soldier in the Kfir brigade.
The suspects denied any connection with the attack with some of them claiming that they were far away from the scene during the attack while others said that there was a skirmish which was stopped after a short while.
The suspects also claim that there was no nationalistic motivation and that none of the evidence thus far compiled against them indicates that racist slogans were shouted during the fight.
During the evaluation of the suspects’ arrests however, the judge said there was reasonable suspicion that the motive was, in fact, nationalistic. The police have said that the investigation is ongoing.

Issa Salem Mahmoud Tarayra 16
Israeli soldiers shot and killed, on Tuesday morning, a Palestinian child at the Wad Al-Jouz Junction, near Bani Neim town, east of Hebron, in the southern part of the occupied West Bank.
The soldiers prevented Palestinian medics from approaching the child, and he bled to death; the Israeli army claimed the child “attempted to stab a soldier.”
The Palestinian child has been identified as Issa Salem Mahmoud Tarayra, 16; he was killed at a military roadblock installed by the army on the main road leading to Bani Neim.
The army claimed that Tarayra approached the military roadblock “with the intent to carry out a stabbing attack, but the soldiers neutralized him.”
An eyewitness said that Tarayra was on his way to Hebron city, and stepped out of a car he was riding after the soldiers stopped dozens of Palestinian cars, and walked towards the soldiers in an attempt to cross on foot, but one of them opened fire towards him and killed him.
The soldiers closed the entire area, declared it a closed military zone, and installed additional roadblocks.
In addition, the army prevented Red Crescent medics, who rushed to the scene after the shooting, from approaching the child to provide him with the desperately needed medical aid, and he died of his wounds.
On Monday evening, a number of fanatic Israeli colonists hurled firebombs at a home belonging to resident Nidal al-‘Oweiwy, in Hebron city, but the family noticed the attack fast and managed to contain the fire before it spread.
Nidal said the assailants came from Abraham Abino Israeli colonialist outpost, that was established on illegally confiscated Palestinian property, right next to his home.
