Israeli forces have abducted at least five Palestinians during an
overnight raid on a number of houses in the occupied West Bank.
The arrests were made in the northern city of Jenin on Sunday, according to Palestinian sources.
In recent months, Israeli forces have intensified their crackdown on
Palestinians by raiding their homes and putting them behind bars based
on the administrative detention policy.
Administrative detention is a sort of imprisonment without trial or
charge that allows Israel to incarcerate Palestinians for up to six
months. The detention order can be renewed for indefinite periods of
time.
Earlier, a group of Israeli settlers stoned Palestinian homes in al-Khalil (Hebron).
Settlers, mostly armed, regularly attack Palestinian villages and
farms and set fire to their mosques, olive groves and other properties
in the West Bank under the so-called “price tag” policy. However, Tel
Aviv rarely detains the assailants.
Price tag attacks are acts of vandalism and violence against
Palestinians and their property as well as Islamic holy sites by Israeli
settlers.
