Palestine-Israel, The harassment of Israeli and Palestinians involved in the joint struggle escalate.

In the past, Israeli activists detained in joint struggle activities were released after the action ended or on bail late evening/night after interrogation in the police station and banned for two weeks from the specific region. Seldom activists were detained for the night and released at court the next day or banned for up to a month. In very seldom cases activists were detained for two nights, or asked by prosecution for longer time. Last Friday an Israeli comrade was detained at Nebi Saleh. Three days later, on Monday evening at about 6pm, he was released after a Jerusalem District Court judge ruled that there was no evidence to substantiate the soldiers’ allegation of assault. He was however indicted for “reckless behavior” and will face court proceedings for this charge. He also was banned from participation in actions for the following three months.

Qaddoum

The first demonstration in our second year of the continuous struggle against the Israelis was so remarkable. There was great participation from the whole village -youngsters and old people- to emphasize the fact that we will not give up until we achieve our objectives. There was a larger number of soldiers than before and they were so brutal targeting the bodies of the youngsters with their bombs which resulted in many casualties. They also set an ambush behind one of the houses to arrest some of the demonstrators, but luckily all our youngsters who were in that area managed to escape except for one who was arrested and brutally hit with sticks by the soldiers. Fires erupted in some parts because of the tear gas bombs they fired. The message is still the same"there's only one option which is the opening of our road and free access to all our lands."

South Hebron hills

This week we will accompany Palestinians farmers and shepherds to their lands in several locations in South Hebron hills. Harassment of Palestinian farmers and shepherds in the area by both settlers and the army continues.
This coming Saturday, July 7, we need as many activists as possible to accompany them and stand up for their rights. There is a direct link between the number of activists who come to accompany the farmers and their ability to harvest and work their lands.


Susiya

Saturday, 4 activists were arrested. Will be probably in court late evening. They detained for damage to possessions as they were erasing defamation graphite made by colonialist settlers and writing better ones.
