Israeli soldiers invaded, on Sunday at dawn, the town of Silwad, east of the central West Bank city of Ramallah, kidnapped a child, and held his 10-year-old brother in the bathroom while interrogating and threatening him. The army also kidnapped two young men in occupied East Jerusalem.
The child, Hamza Shokri Hammad, 15 years of age, was kidnapped after a large number of soldiers smashed the family’s main door, and detained him in one of the rooms after forcing his brother Bilal, 10 years of age, into the bathroom, where he was threatened and interrogated.
Hammad was taken prisoner before the soldiers left the property; the family said the army confiscated mobile phones, Game CD’s, in addition to destroying a computer.
The family added that the soldiers also took some of Bilal’s toys, and scattered them outside the property.
The kidnapped child is the son of Moayyad Hammad, who was taken prisoner many years ago, and was sentenced to seven life terms.
Last week, the Israeli Prison Authority denied Hamza the right to visit his imprisoned father under the pretext that he is underage and needs a permit, although under Israeli law, children do not need a permit.
Also on Sunday at dawn, soldiers invaded the al-‘Eesawiyya town, in occupied Jerusalem, kidnapped two young Palestinian men, and took them to an interrogation center in the city.
The two have been identified as Mahmoud Abdul-Raouf Mahmoud, and ‘Amid ‘Obeid.

Palestinian activists on social media networks shared Friday photos showing a Palestinian family while quarreling with an Israeli soldier who tried to arrest their child during Nabi Salah village weekly march.
Nariman Tamimi, one of the family members, told Palestine 48 website that Israeli soldiers were hidden behind trees and suddenly appeared and attacked the peaceful march that is weekly organized in the village against settlement construction. The soldiers brutally attacked the participants amid heavy fire of tear gas bombs and rubber bullets, injuring some of them, she added. Few moments later, she continued, one of the Israeli soldiers swooped down on "my little boy Mohamed" in an attempt to arrest him. |

"We immediately intervened to liberate him especially that he broke his hand after being hit with a rubber bullet during last week march", the mother added.
“During the clashes, the soldier hit my daughter Ahed with his rifle butt on her head. However, we managed to liberate Mohamed after a long confrontation,” she elaborated. Nabi Salah weekly march marked ongoing efforts by local residents to protest the Israeli occupation’s daily violations, including land disputes, the separation wall, freedom of movement, and water claims.

Video: Women of Nabi Saleh unmask, remove Israeli soldier as he attacks an injured child
A radical scene unfolded Friday after Israeli forces intercepted the weekly protest in the West Bank village of Nabi Saleh, Palestine against the illegal confiscation of their land and spring. The courageous actions of the Tamimi women of Nabi Saleh rescuing their captured child spread immediately on social media after the UK’s Daily Mail published a series of breathtaking photographs taken at the scene. The event was captured on video by Bilal Tamimi and Royal News TV.
As a masked and armed Israeli soldier chases down a hillside you can hear voices yelling, then the unmistakable sound of a screaming child. The boy appears in view as he turns to face the soldier. Screaming, the boy pivots then rushes past the soldier and up the hill through a mass of boulders as the soldier finally catches up with the boy and captures him. Placing the boy in a chokehold the soldier forces the struggling child over a bolder as cameras close in on the scene and record what’s happening. What follows, captured on video and camera, is a sight to behold.
The boy has a cast on his left arm. The soldier briefly loosens his chokehold before tightening his grip again.
The struggling continues over the wild screams of the boy. The soldier, ironically gasping for breath, yells out at the top of his lungs – calling for assistance from his comrade forces – unable to pull off this arrest of the boy on his own. He adjusts his rifle, pulls back the boy’s good arm and shoves the boy’s face towards the boulder, then stands and tries lifting the boy up from under the child’s armpits as the boy’s arms and cast fly into the air he lets out a painful scream. The soldier struggles to contain the squirming writhing boy who’s wildly kicking his legs into the air.
And then the Tamimi women of Nabi Saleh descend on the soldier.
They plunge down on the soldier, pulling him off the child (2: 05). He thrusts them off and struggle ensues, he tackles the boy again as women and girls proceed yanking his limbs, beating his head, biting him, slapping him (while the soldier is yelling for backup), mounting his back, putting a chokehold on his neck, ripping his mask and finally tearing it off his face, unmasking him completely (2:52). Other soldiers enter into the scene and rescue him from the Tamimi women of Nabi Saleh. The boy is fighting him off the whole time.
Note the last scene of the video. The humiliated, defeated soldier draws a teargas canister, arms it, and throws it to the ground.

Ali Etani, a 17-year-old detainee from the northern West Bank city of Jenin, Thursday, briefed his lawyer from the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society (PPS) on the ill-treatment and abuse he has been subjected to, during interrogation in Israeli prisons.
According to WAFA, Etani told his lawyer that Israeli interrogators harass minor detainees and employ various physiological and physical torture techniques; some of these methods include tying the minor’s hands and feet and humiliating him by interrogators who place their legs on the detainees shoulders while handcuffed.
Etani added he has breathing difficulties and sinuses as well as chronic headache, yet receives no medical care from the prison service.
The Israeli prison guards carry out regular and surprising night raids in minors’ sections, the last of which was a raid targeting one of the cells; the guards locked down the detainees in the lavatories while tampered with their personal belongings.
According to Israeli human rights organization B’Tselem, at the end of May 2015, 163 Palestinian minors were held in Israeli prisons as security detainees and prisoners.
Most of the minors in detention are subjected to verbal and physical abuse, which is an outright violation of international law. Defense for Palestinian Children reported, “The majority of children are detained from their West Bank homes during the middle of the night by heavily armed Israeli soldiers.”
It added, “Several hours after their arrest, children arrive at an interrogation and detention center alone, sleep deprived and often bruised and scared. Interrogations tend to be coercive, including a variety of verbal abuse, threats and physical violence that ultimately result in a confession.”
The international law stipulates that minors are not to be handcuffed or terrorized during interrogation. Upon detention, the authority detaining the minor should immediately inform the family and allow his parents to be present during interrogation.
The Association for Civil Rights in Israel said parents have the right to accompany the child to the interrogation at the police station, even if the station is located within a settlement. If not allowed to enter a settlement, an attorney should accompany the minor immediately.
According to statistics, 90 minors, who are under the age of 18, are currently detained in the Ofer Military camp near Ramallah, while another 110 are detained in Hasharon and Majedo military camps.

The Israeli Occupation Authorities (IOA) deprived 60 Jerusalemite children from returning to school this year, Jerusalemite Prisoners’ Families Committee said Thursday.
60 Jerusalemite school students, held in Megiddo, Hasharon, Ofek, and al-Maskoubiya detention centers, are deprived from returning to school as the new school year begins in Palestine, the committee clarified.
Hundreds of Jerusalemite children were detained since the beginning of the year as part of the Israeli unfair measures against Jerusalemites, according to the statement. For the majority, their crime is resisting occupation’s practices.
Most of the detainees were then released under tough conditions including house arrest, an Israeli measure that deprives dozens of children from their right for education provided by all international laws and conventions dealing with children’s rights, the statement reads.
The Palestinian center for prisoners, for its part, said that 280 Palestinian minors are currently locked up in Israeli jails amid very difficult detention conditions. The minors, according to the center, are subjected to physical and psychological torture during their arrest and interrogation.
Israeli torture methods include tying up detainees in painful positions for hours or days, depriving from sleep, strip search, isolation, and severe beating.

Defense for Children International - Palestine (DCIP) revealed on Tuesday that over 1,000 children suffered, as a result of Israel's last summer’s aggression on Gaza, injuries that rendered them permanently disabled, according to OCHA.
The Israeli aggression, which lasted 51 days, claimed the lives of 2,220 Palestinians, including at least 1,492 civilians. 3,374 others were injured including 1,000 children who suffered disabilities, according to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).
DCIP independently verified the deaths of 547 Palestinian children among the killed in Gaza, 535 of them as a direct result of Israeli attacks. Nearly 68 percent of the children killed by Israeli forces were 12 years old or younger.
Evidence and testimonies collected by DCIP showed that there was no safe place for children in Gaza during the Israeli assault. Children were killed in their homes by Israeli missiles, while sheltering in schools by high-explosive Israeli artillery shells, and in the streets by Israeli drone-fired missiles and artillery shells as they attempted to escape the onslaught with their families.
Among those cases was a child from Rafah called Ibrahim Abu Shabab, in the sixth grade. He was wounded by shrapnel in his neck and suffered a fracture in the right thigh bone and shrapnel in other parts of the body leaving him in a very critical situation.
His mother said he underwent several surgeries and was absent of his school for three months which affected his educational progress.
Another child named Bilal al-Sherafi, 11, from Gaza city, was injured by shrapnel all over his body due to Israeli missiles. His mother and brother were killed in the Israeli missile attack.
He stayed for a month at hospital because of the seriousness of his condition at the time, then, was transferred alone to be treated in Germany. He spent 10 months there and lost the opportunity to register in the school year of the fifth grade.
A third child, called Thaer Jodeh, 10, from Jabalya, lost his right leg and was injured with shrapnel in his body and suffered laceration to his hands because of Israeli missiles which killed his mother and four of his siblings.
He was also taken to Germany for treatment and spent ten months there. He was given an artificial limb that needs to be changed as the child is growing up.

Four Palestinian children, including 6-year old, Injured in Kufur Qaddoum protest march
Palestinian medical sources have reported that four residents were injured Friday, after Israeli soldiers attacked the weekly nonviolent protest in Kufur Qaddoum town, near the northern West Bank city of Qalqilia.
The protesters, accompanied by international activists, marched through the village, demanding that Israel open the main village road that was blocked by the army 13 years ago in order to enable easy access by Israeli colonizers to the Kedumim illegal colony, built on Palestinian lands.
Coordinator of the Popular Committee against the Wall and Settlements in the town Morad Eshteiwy said a large military force invaded Kufur Qaddoum before noon prayers, and fired a barrage of rubber-coated metal bullets.
The invasion and assault led to clashes between dozens of local youth and the invading soldiers; local youth hurled stones and empty bottles toward the invading soldiers and armored vehicles.
