Israeli troops killed a youth at a hospital and read out Jewish prayers at a mosque in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin during raids that Palestinian authorities said on Thursday killed 12 and that Israel said helped capture dozens of militants.
Alaa Al Sadi, who lives in the Jenin camp, said soldiers who came to his home searching for guns smashed his television before taking him blindfolded into detention at an army compound outside the city for about 14 hours, along with hundreds of other people.
The soldiers found no guns but demolished his family home and accused him of being a member of Hamas, telling him he should leave the West Bank and move to Lebanon or Syria, Al Sadi, 44, said in an interview. He denied any links to the Gaza-based Islamist militant group.
The Israeli military did not respond to a request for comment about Alaa Al Sadi’s account.
The majority of the people taken into detention earlier in the raid have since been released, the Palestinian Prisoner’s Club, an advocacy group, said in a statement. The Israeli army said 60 wanted suspects were transferred to security forces for further questioning.
Seems Hamas and Israel ain’t so different after all.
Israel was on track for two state before Hamas got Bibi elected, edging out Perez by less than a percent in the wake of their suicide and bus bombings of civilians.
In return Bibi, who is a war criminal along with many others of Likud, helped them remove Arafat… and together they insured two state will never happen.
So Bibi and Hamas, yes, partners from the beginning. I’d love to see him and other members of Likud at the ICC.
Hamas and Israel, no, that’s just a racist antisemitism intentional conflating of Bibi and Israel…
Hamas got bibi elected? That’s a new level of blame shifting!
