IOA hands over more demolishing notices to Palestinian Jerusalemites
[ 13/03/2009 - 12:28 PM ]

OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- Local sources in the occupied city of Jerusalem affirmed Friday that the Israeli occupation authority has notified seven Palestinian Jerusalemite families that their homes will be demolished alleging they were built without permits.

The sources also revealed that the Israeli occupation order was clear and aims at controlling the 16,000 square meter land near the wall of Jerusalem, adding that Israeli foundations were planning to establish tens of settlement units to absorb more Israeli settlers in the city.

Since the eastern part of Jerusalem city came under the Israeli occupation in 1967, the successive Israeli occupation governments spared no time in judaizing the city and attempting to introduce drastic demographic changes in favor of the Jews in the city to preempt any future political settlement with the Palestinians regarding the city.

In Nablus district, big numbers of IOF troops raided the tiny village of Til, west of Nablus city, and rounded up seven Palestinian youths after they ransacked and wreaked havoc in many Palestinian homes in the village.

Another Palestinian youth identified as Mahmood Talal Zaidan, 25, from Jenin city was also rounded up at the Shafi Shamron checkpoint while returning home from work.

No reasons were revealed for the arrest, but local sources said that the Israeli soldiers manning the barrier stopped the taxi where Zaidan was riding and ordered him out before they allowed the taxi to proceed without him.

Also in Nablus city, the lawyer of the Palestinian prisoner's club succeeded in forcing the Israeli prosecution to withdraw a petition to consider Palestinian prisoner Adham Ali Hussein, who hails from Gaza Strip, as an "enemy combatant".

According to sources in the club, the lawyer was on his way to represent and defend the Palestinian prisoner in a court session before he was called up by the Israeli prosecutor who told him that the Israeli military command retreated from considering the prisoner as an "enemy combatant", and that the session was cancelled and Hussein would be released few days from now.

In Tulkarem city, PA intelligence elements working under the command of Fatah leader Mahmoud Abbas kidnapped Sheikh Adnan Al-Husari, 43, from his home after beating and insulting him in front of his wife and children in Tulkarem refugee camp Thursday night.

Husari spent 70 days in the PA preventive security jails before he was released two months ago. He was also detained for two years in Israeli jails.

The arrest of Husari was considered as clear undermining on the part of Abbas's forces to the ongoing inter-Palestinian reconciliation dialogue in Cairo. All Palestinian factions were against Fatah frenzied policy of arresting Hamas and Islamic Jihad cadres in the West Bank over the past two years.
