The Wadi Hilweh Information Center in Silwan (Silwanic), in occupied
Jerusalem, published a report documenting the Israeli violations against
the Jerusalemite Palestinians in April, and revealed that the soldiers
killed one teen, kidnapped 120, demolished two structures, and escalated
the attacks on the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
Silwanic said the soldiers shot and killed, on Saturday April 25, Ali
Sa’id Abu Ghannam, 16 years of age, while trying to cross a military
roadblock in occupied Jerusalem.
The soldiers claimed he attempted to stab a soldier, but eyewitnesses refuted the allegation.
Israel held the body of the slain teen, and tried to place
preconditions by attempting to force the family to pay a high fine, and
limit the number of Palestinian who would participate in the funeral
ceremony, but the family refused the Israeli demands.
Soldiers also kidnapped, detained, and interrogated the slain child’s
father, violently searched their home causing excessive property
damage, in addition to attacking several Palestinians, and
pepper-sprayed many residents.
Lawyers representing the family demanded Israel to hand them a copy
of surveillance tape on the military roadblock, but the army never
released the video.
The death of Abu Ghannam led to clashes between the Palestinians and the soldiers in different parts of occupied Jerusalem.
Silwanic reported that the soldiers kidnapped 120 Palestinians in
different neighborhoods, villages and towns in Jerusalem, including 14
women, and 40 children; the youngest is Ahmad Ehad az-Za’tary, 7 years
of age.
Undercover Soldiers also kidnapped Mohammad Mahdi az-Za’tary, 12;
both Ehab and Mohammad were kidnapped near their homes, and were
interrogated for extended hours, and were denied access to legal
representation, food or water, and were not allowed even to sleep.
Silwanic stated that most of the arrests were carried out by the army
in Silwan town, the Old City, at-Tour, al-‘Eesawiyya, Sheikh Jarrah and
Jabal al-Mokabber.
Furthermore, fanatic Israeli groups, accompanied by the police,
carried out dozens of invasions into the courtyards of the Al-Aqsa
Mosque, and conducted repeated violations and attacks against Muslim
worshipers, while the police kidnapped and interrogated many
Palestinians, including women and children.
The Israeli police also attacked two mosque guards, and issued orders
denying 35 Palestinians access to the Al-Aqsa Mosque for periods that
range between 10 days and 6 months.
Among the Palestinians who received such orders, after being detained
and interrogated, are 10 women, two elderly men, two children, and two
employees of the Islamic Waqf Department. Furthermore, the soldiers
verbally informed a 10-year-old child that she is denied access to the
Mosque.
The soldiers also continued to withhold the ID cards of young men,
and women of all ages, before allowing them to enter the mosque.
Also in April, Israeli soldiers demolished a residential shed in Beit
Hanina, north of occupied Jerusalem, and an under-construction
four-story building in Wad al-Jouz neighborhood.
The soldiers also handed several families demolitions notices of
their homes and structures in different parts of occupied Jerusalem.
In addition, Israeli fanatics attacked a child, identified as Sa’id
Radi Ad-Doo, 14, while riding his bicycle in the Old City, causing
several cuts and bruises to various parts of his body.
Soldiers also closed the Suleiman al-Farsi Street, one of the main
roads in at-Tour town, the main entrance to the Suleiman al-Farsi Mosque
and the town’s graveyard.
Blocking the road also prevented access to Jabal az-Zeitoun Club,
Jabal az-Zeitoun School for Boys, and Jabal az-Zeitoun kindergarten,
where 1200 children attend school.
The army also placed concrete blocks on the eastern entrance of the
al-‘Eesawiyya town, closed the Za’im roadblock gate, forcing the
villagers to take alternate, longer routes, to go to school or work.
Silwanic stated that scores of Palestinians have been shot and
injured by Israeli army fire in April, including a young man, identified
as Suleiman Tarbi, 20, who lost his left eye after being shot with a
rubber-coated metal bullet in the al-‘Eesawiyya town.
Furthermore, soldiers used excessive force against nonviolent
protesters in the at-Tour town, and attacked dozens of Palestinians
celebrating a sports victory of their local club; the army fired gas
bombs and rubber-coated metal bullets.
Army also attacked Palestinians celebrating the release of two political prisoners.
Furthermore, soldiers issued an order denying a young man, identified
as Daoud al-Ghoul, access to Jerusalem for four months, issued an
arbitrary detention order against Abdul-Rahim Abbassi, and renewed a
similar order against Sadeq Gheith.
