Jewish Israeli Terrorism


Working for Peace and Justice
Dear stan -- The occupation continues to traumatize the Palestinian population in Hebron. Here are some of the things that have happed in Hebron this July:

July 10

The closed shops broken into by setters were were originally used as blacksmith workshops. Over 75% of Palestinian businesses in H2—the section of Hebron under Israeli military control—have closed due to military restrictions and other difficulties of the occupation.

Also on July 10, Israeli bulldozers demolished a caravan in the village of Idhna, west of Hebron, claiming it was too close to Israel's apartheid wall—this was the same reason given for the massive demolitions of 16 apartment buildings—100 housing units—in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Wadi Hummus this month.
Under the Oslo Accords, for Palestinians to build in Area C—under Israeli military control—building permits must be obtained by the Israeli Civil Administration. These permits are rarely/never granted so residents are forced to build structures without permits. Israel later uses the excuse of a building not having had a construction permit as a reason for demolition.

July 11 

Israel forces issued a demolition order for the Hebron home belonging to Issam Tumaizy. Palestinian farmer Amjad Islaimaya was ordered by Israel to halt his construction. The "reason" given to both Issam and Amjad was that they did not have building permits for their properties west of Hebron. Between 2006 and June 2019, Israel has demolished at least 1,440 residential units across the West Bank, causing 6,336 people to become homeless

July 13 

They Israeli military raided areas of H1 in Hebron (under Palestinian Authority control) putting up mobil checkpoints and delivered a demolition order notice to the house of Mohammad Ali Al-Allami, north of Hebron. This was despite Mohammed being in possession of all necessary legal documents, including permits and proof of ownership for the construction he had done on his home.

The Israeli military demolished a Palestinian irrigation pool near the east of Hebron near the illegal Kiryat Arba Settlement. The family of Ziad Aljabari had been using the irrigation pol to water their crops.

A seven year old Palestinian child was killed in hit-and-run car attack by an illegal settler in the area Tarqumia, west of Hebron. Eyewitnesses called the Israeli security forces, who transported the boy to a hospital where he was later pronounced dead. Local sources reported that the Israeli authorities made no attempts to identify and apprehend the murder of the young boy. The child's family continues to grieve.pastedGraphic_4.png

Nine Palestinians were detained and harassed by Israeli forces throughout Jerusalem and Hebron during celebrations following the announcement of Palestinian secondary school exam results.
