RAMALLAH, August 10, 2015
(WAFA) – The three Palestinian Arabic dailies focused in their Monday issue on
the Israeli army’s killing of a Palestinian youth near Ofer prison at night on
Sunday.
The three dailies said
20-year-old Anas Taha from Qatanna, to the northwest of Jerusalem, was shot
dead by Israeli soldiers near Ofer prison, west of Ramallah, for reportedly
stabbing an Israeli settler.
Al-Quds said Palestinian
factions warned against an inescapable “explosion” in the situation in case the
UNRWA suspends its education program due to its financial deficit.
Al-Ayyam said the number of
Palestinian detainees in Israeli jails who are hunger striking against
maltreatment has risen to 180.
Al-Ayyam said the Israeli
prison service moved hunger striking Palestinian detainee Mohammad Allan to
Barazilai medical center in Asqalan after practitioners at Soroka hospital,
where he had first being hospitalized, refused to force-feed him.
Al-Hayat al-Jadida reported
that the health condition of Allan has significantly deteriorated after almost
56 days of hunger striking.
Al-Hayat al-Jadida and al-Quds
said a number of hunger strikers in Nafha prison suspended their hunger strike
for two weeks.
Al-Hayat al-Jadida said an
Israeli Jewish organization threatened to take over three homes in Jerusalem’s
Silwan neighborhood, under the claimed pretext that their ownership belongs to
Yemenite Jews who lived there some 100 years ago.
Al-Quds and al-Ayyam said
Israeli police arrested a number of suspects in the August 31 Jewish arson
attack on the village of Duma, south of Nablus, which killed 18-month-old Ali
Dawabsheh and his father, Sa’ad, who died of his wounds on Saturday, and
seriously injured his mother, Riham, and his elder brother Ahmad.
Al-Hayat al-Jadida said the
average of infants’ death in the Gaza Strip has risen to its highest in 50
years due to the Israeli blockade of Gaza.
Al-Ayyam said the Israeli
authorities have allocated some $40 million for a settlement expansion in the
Old City of Jerusalem.
