JERUSALEM, Friday, July 26, 2019 (WAFA) – Israeli police dawn Friday detained seven Palestinians from the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Issawiyeh.

The seven Palestinians were rounded up purportedly for partaking in anti-occupation activities.

For the residents of Issawiyeh, a Palestinian village of some 20,000, and other parts of occupied East Jerusalem, military raids and building demolitions are a daily reality.

The village is plagued by poor infrastructure, residents are constantly harassed by the Israeli Border Police and anyone, including children, run the risk of arbitrary arrest.

Israeli police and municipality staff frequently hand out fine notices for various violations, such as improperly maintained vehicles, severely disrupting Palestinian residents’ lives.
