IOFs kidnap 12 Palestinians

[ 30/08/2007 - 03:05 PM ]

NABLUS, (PIC)-- 

Israeli occupation forces (IOF) kidnapped 12 Palestinians in a number of West Bank areas claiming they were wanted activists while 55 Palestinian workers were detained in Tel Aviv for working without permit.

The Hebrew radio quoted an IOF spokesman as saying that the arrests were made in Nablus, Ramallah and Bethlehem.

He claimed that explosives were found in one of the searched homes in Ramallah and that they were blasted.

In Nablus, local sources said that Mujahid the son of the martyred Hamas leader Jamal Salim was kidnapped at the hands of IOF soldiers on Thursday after wreaking havoc in his family home.

In Tel Aviv a 40-year-old Palestinian worker died of a heart attack after Israeli policemen chased and beat him up.

The worker, Fahim Salem, was the breadwinner of a family of seven members.

The Israeli police rounded up 55 Palestinians east of Tel Aviv at the usual pretext of working without permit. Around 75,000 Palestinians work in the Palestinian lands occupied in 1948 in search of sustenance but under constant harassment and dangers.

In an unrelated development, MP Mustafa Al-Barghouthi, secretary general of the Mubadara party, charged Israeli settlers in Yitmar settlement near Nablus with erecting a number of settlement outposts on the Akraba village lands.

Note to readers:

The Israeli settlements as well as the Land-Grab, Apartheid Wall in the Palestinian occupied territories have been built illegally on confiscated Palestinian lands. These represent a major violation of international law, Geneva Conventions, and they obstruct reaching a peaceful resolution for the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

The Israeli occupation forces abduct and kidnap Palestinians from their homes on daily basis. Most media refer to these abductions and kidnappings as arrests, which is inaccurate and not true as the Israeli occupation government has no jurisdiction over Palestinian citizens inside their own territories.
