Israeli police forces shut down a Palestinian soccer tournament in the Beit Safafa neighborhood, in the central occupied West Bank district of Jerusalem, reportedly for being held under the auspices of the Palestinian Authority (PA).
Local sources confirmed that Israeli police forces raided Beit Safafa’s soccer field and hung a notice issued by the Israeli Public Security Minister, Gilad Erdan, banning the soccer tournament from taking place at any field for allegedly being held “under the auspices of the Palestinian Authority to mark the Palestinian Prisoner’s Day.” The soccer tournament was organized by the Multaqa Ahali al-Quds (the |
Jerusalemites Forum) and the Jerusalem Clubs Association.
The Jerusalemites Forum said his chairman Khaled Sabbah affirming that the forum is apolitical and is not affiliated with any Palestinian political actor.
Sources also pointed out that 12 teams with players, aged between 12 and 13 years old, from the Jerusalem district were scheduled to play in the canceled tournament.
Illegal Israeli settlements, along with the Israeli separation wall, have effectively cut off Beit Safafa from the West Bank.
The neighborhood suffers from poor infrastructure, in addition its residents are constantly subjected to harassment and detentions by Israeli forces.

Issac Abdul Muti Suwailm Eshteiwi, 16
Palestinian medical sources report that a Palestinian child, Issac Abdul Muti Suwailm Eshteiwi, 16, from Rafah, in the south of the Gaza Strip, died of injuries sustained when he was shot by Israeli forces east of Rafah near the border fence on April 3rd.
After he was shot, the injured boy was grabbed by Israeli soldiers who thrust him into a military vehicle and took him to a military base in Israel.
The Israeli military claimed that Issac and two other children were attempting to escape over the border fence when they were shot.
When the incident occurred, one of the teens suffered fatal injuries when he was shot.
The Israeli military reported that Issac suffered “mild injuries” after he was shot at close range by their sharpshooters, and the third boy was taken onto custody without reported injury.
But he has remained in Israeli custody since being shot, and his family has not been allowed to see him, according to local sources.
His parents were informed on Sunday that Issac had succumbed to his injuries. It is unknown whether further injuries had been inflicted upon him while in Israeli military custody due to “harsh interrogation”/torture.
Injured Palestinians detained by Israeli forces have frequently reported that Israeli forces torture them while in custody.
On the same day that Issac was killed, a 14-year old Palestinian boy was found, after his family had reported him missing for three days, in an Israeli prison.
Ramez Tamimi, 14, was kidnapped by Israeli soldiers from his village, Dir Nitham, north of the central West Bank city of Ramallah, and was eventually found in ‘Ofer’ prison, and his family was never informed.
