RAMALLAH,
Wednesday, November 03, 2021 (WAFA) – Israeli forces Wednesday overnight
detained at least seven Palestinians and injured another across the West Bank,
according to local and security sources.
They
said that Israeli forces rounded up two Palestinians after storming their
dormitory in Birzeit town, north of Ramallah city.
The
detainees, both coming from al-Arroud refugee camp,
north of Hebron, are students enrolled in Birzeit
University.
The
soldiers re-arrested a former prisoner after ransacking his house in Umm Ash-Sharayet neighborhood of al-Bireh
city.
In
Jerusalem district, Israeli troops barged their way into Kafr
Aqab town, north of the city, where they detained
another.
In
the southern West Bank, the sources confirmed a similar predawn raid in Yatta town, south of Hebron, resulting in the detention of
a father along with his son.
Still
in Hebron district, the soldiers Tuesday evening opened live fire at a young
man and injured him before detaining him near ad-Dhahiriya
city, southwest of Hebron.
In
the northern West Bank, a resident of Tammun town,
south of Tubas, was rounded up while he was working in al-Jiftlik
village, north of Jericho, as confirmed by the Director of the Palestine
Prisoner’s Society Office, Kamal Bani-Odeh.
Still
in the northern section of the West Bank, Israeli troops re-arrested Qaisar Infeiat, a resident of Ya‘bad town, west of Jenin, after
stopping him at a flying checkpoint in the town.
Qaisar
is the brother of Munadel Yacoub
Infeiat, 26, one of the six Palestinian prisoners who
managed to escape from Gilboa Prison in early
September through a tunnel in what was described as the most dramatic and
unprecedented prison break.
Israeli
forces frequently raid Palestinian houses almost on a daily basis across the
West Bank on the pretext of searching for "wanted" Palestinians,
triggering clashes with residents.
These
raids, which take place also in areas under the full control of the Palestinian
Authority, are conducted with no need for a search warrant, whenever and
wherever the military chooses in keeping with its sweeping arbitrary powers.
Under
Israeli military law army commanders have full executive, legislative and
judicial authority over 3 million Palestinians living in the West Bank.
Palestinians have no say in how this authority is exercised.
