Two Israeli soldiers have been charged with sexually harassing women at the Qalandiya checkpoint near Ramallah, in the central West Bank, and stealing their property.
According to Israeli sources, the soldiers forced women to undress and be subjected to strip searches, touched them inappropriately, and stole money and property from both women and men passing through the checkpoint.
The soldiers in question allegedly molested a number of Palestinian women, after forcing them to be strip-searched. The soldiers serve in the Military Police Corps.
According to the lawyer for one of the soldiers, “This is an excellent and highly valued soldier who serves well in a complex and demanding role.
Regarding the property offense, this is a one-time blunder that is unlike him. The soldier completely rejects all the other claims and expected the investigation to end in a way that refutes the allegations.”
The two soldiers are being held in the military brig for one week.
The Qalandiya checkpoint has a history of being a site of harassment of Palestinian civilians by Israeli soldiers, with Palestinians frequently complaining of being brutalized, forced through cattle pens and interrogated while crossing through the checkpoint on their way to work or school.
It is the largest checkpoint in the West Bank, and is the main entry point for Palestinians who need to enter Jerusalem or Israel.
The Times of Israel has written in the past about the Qalandiya checkpoint, pointing out the “difficult conditions that have remained the status quo at the crossing since it was opened in 2002”. The paper noted, “There is only a single toilet — a hole in the ground — currently open at the crossing, where sometimes thousands can wait for hours. The state of the facility is grim, putrid, and the door to the bathroom itself is hanging off of the hinges. This reporter saw both men and women use this toilet. The room designated for men is locked.”
A report from the Israeli organization Machsom Watch (Checkpoint Watch), which sends Israeli observers to checkpoints in different parts of the West Bank, found that in Qalandiya, “The passage was terribly slow and accompanied by the shouts and scolding of the soldiers in the booths.
Every now and again people are stuck in the turnstiles and when another one opens people are sent from one to the other according to what they are carrying, their IDs, their age ; while the orders which are heard come out of the microphone in Hebrew and it is very difficult to understand what they are saying.”

The Israeli occupation army’s civil administration on Thursday resumed the construction of a road for Jewish settlers leading to the illegal settlement of Efrat, south of Bethlehem.
According to a local official, a crew from the civil administration escorted by soldiers stormed Khilat al-Nahla area in southern Bethlehem and used bulldozers to build a bypass leading to Efrat settlement.
Last Monday, when the Israeli army started to build the road, some local residents and landowners intervened and prevented the bulldozers from leveling the area after they demonstrated documents proving their ownership of the seized lands.

A Palestinian from the northern Jerusalem neighborhood of Beit Hanina, in the central occupied West Bank, demolished his own home on Thursday afternoon, upon order by an Israeli court. video
Fadi Shawamreh said, according to Ma’an News Agency, that he had to demolish his own home; that was built in 2006, following an order by an Israeli court that the house was not licensed. Shawamreh said that a demolition order against his house was issued after he started renovating the ceiling and walls of the house, over the past two years. He added that he was able to postpone the demolition several times until a final order was issued by the court to demolish the structure. The court allowed Shawamreh until the beginning of September to carry out its order, or else paying demolition fees imposed by the Israeli municipality |
for crews that would be carrying out the demolition instead.
Shawamreh said that Israeli municipality crews, escorted by Israeli forces, had raided his house several months ago to demolish the structure, evacuated its content and assaulted those present at the time, however, the demolition was prevented by a lawyer.
He pointed out that the municipality had imposed a fine of 50,000 shekels, on another part of his house, a steel-structure with a cement floor, several years ago.
Israel rarely grants Palestinians permits to build in East Jerusalem, though the Jerusalem municipality has claimed that compared to the Jewish population, they receive a disproportionately low number of permit applications from Palestinian communities, which also see high approval ratings.
For Jewish Israelis in occupied East Jerusalem’s illegal settlements, the planning, marketing, development and infrastructure are funded and executed by the Israeli government. By contrast, in Palestinian neighborhoods, all the burden falls on individual families to contend with a lengthy permit application that can last several years and cost tens of thousands of dollars.
According to Daniel Seidemann of the NGO Terrestrial Jerusalem, “Since 1967, the Government of Israel has directly engaged in the construction of 55,000 units for Israelis in East Jerusalem; in contrast, fewer than 600 units have been built for Palestinians in East Jerusalem, the last of which were built 40 years ago. So much for (Jerusalem Mayor Nir) Barkat’s claim ‘we build for everyone.'”

Ecologists and farmers have sounded alarm bells over the acute damage wrought by Israel’s sewage disposal pouring into Palestinian olive groves in Salfit.
Reporting from the scene, eye-witnesses said Palestinian cultivated lands have been terribly tainted by sewage waste spilling from the Israeli Baduel settlement, built on Palestinian lands in Salfit.
Researcher Khaled Maali warned of the tragic fallouts of sewage waste, mingled with industrial chemicals, which has been pouring into Palestinian springs and streams from 25 Israeli settlements and industrial zones.
Salfit, home to natural masterpieces and prolific agricultural output, has been turned into a source of epidemics, infectious diseases, insects, rodents, pigs, and stench due to Israel’s untreated sewage disposal and frenzied settlement activity.

Israel's Jerusalem municipality has ordered the Palestinian citizen Fadi Shawamreh to demolish his own family house in Beit Hanina town, north of Occupied Jerusalem.
Shawamreh told Quds Press on Wednesday that Israeli authorities demolished a house he owned in 2004 and he rebuilt it in 2006. He added that Jerusalem municipality has lately claimed his new house is unlicensed.
The house, built on an area of 180 square meters, is a home to 14 members, according to Shawamreh who affirmed that he owns the land.
He said that municipality crews broke into his house on Monday and told his wife that the house must be demolished completely. Shawamreh will start the demolition on Thursday.

European delegation for relations with Palestine visited Khan al-Ahmar village on Wednesday and warned that its demolition could be considered a war crime.
The European delegation, chaired by Neoklis Sylikiotis, met with village residents and activists who have been keeping a vigil at the village to fend off Israeli demolition and expressed their total support in face of Israel deportation plans.
Sylikiotis said the European Parliament (EP) will continue to oppose demolition of Khan al-Ahmar and other Bedouin communities in the area, all facing eviction from their land and displacement.
We totally support the Palestinian struggle for freedom and justice and for self determination and oppose at the same time the Israeli occupation and apartheid, he said.
He pointed out that the EP will actively work to defend Khan al-Ahmar, stressing that forceful deportation of people under occupation is a serious violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention and is considered a war crime.
He stressed that the EU is opposed to settlement construction in the occupied Palestinian territories and supports the two-state solution.
For his part, Walid Assaf, head of the Wall and Settlements Resistance Commission, said Israel was committing a war crime against the Palestinian people in Khan al-Ahmar by displacing them in order to build a settlement on their land that would end any chance of having a contiguous Palestinian state.
He urged the Europeans to play a bigger role in defending Palestinian rights in these difficult times.

The Israeli occupation court in Jerusalem on Monday withdrew its decision to deport French activist Frank Romano for participation in the protest against the occupation in Khan Al-Ahmar Bedouin village, east of occupied Jerusalem.
Romano, a law professor at the French Sorbonne University, who holds both French and American citizenship, was arrested for “suspicion of obstructing the work of a policeman,” according to Israeli sources.
He was taken into custody on Friday, from Khan Al-Ahmar, as he was demanding the cancellation of the evacuation and demolition of the village of Khan Alahmar, home for 180 Palestinian Bedouins.
“They said I was organizing a riot and that I was violent– all lies. They tried to convince me that the Palestinians and the Bedouins had no right to fight Israeli policy in section C [of the West Bank], that this is Israel and Israel can do whatever they want,” Romano told press in Khan Al-Ahmar, after he returned.
“They [Israelis] started saying ‘Bedouins are just Nomads, they can go here, they don’t mind leaving,’ I said no, they are not nomads.. They go to 3 places every year to get away from the wind and winter. That’s not nomadism, they are people who settled here and want to have a normal life like anyone else.”
Romano said that, upon arrest, soldiers assaulted him and moved to another cell, where he held a hunger strike, in protest.
“I did the hunger strike because when you’re in jail you don’t have power.. The only power you have, to tell the world, is a hunger strike.. I did this for three days and I’m still doing this because I want the world to know that this is worth the sacrifice,” Romano said, according to the PNN.
After that, he was taken to immigration office and refused to sign a paper that would ban him from entering Palestine (and Israel). In the end, he was sent to court. Romano says he was released without any documents (passport) or money, as police told him he had to go back to the detention center and get it.
“If they send me back to France, I wouldn’t be able to come back for ten years,” Romano told journalists in Khan Al-Ahmar.
“We want the Bedouins and all Palestinians to be free from this terrible occupation.. We have to do what we can to stop these bulldozers.. I want to continue this struggle,” he concluded, as he continued to protest in the village alongside dozens of activists who are staying over at the village to prevent Israeli forces from demolishing it.

Dozens of Israeli soldiers invaded, on Monday at dawn, the home of a Palestinian who, just a day earlier, carried a stabbing attack in Gush Etzion illegal colony, south of Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank, and took measurements of the property in preparation for demolishing it, Maan News Agency has reported.

Ari Fuld
Maan stated that the soldiers surrounded and invaded Yatta town, south of Hebron, before storming the family home of Khalil Yousef al-Jabarin, 17, and ransacking the property, causing excessive damage.
The soldiers, from the Combat Engineering Corps, took measurements of the property to prepare for demolishing it, as part of Israel’s illegal collective punishment policies targeting families of Palestinians who carried out, or are accused of carrying out attacks, against Israelis.
It is worth mentioning that Jabarin was shot after he reportedly stabbed an armed Israeli colonialist settler who is also a U.S. citizen, identified as Ari Fuld, 40, inflicting a serious injury, before he later died from his wounds, at an Israeli hospital in occupied Jerusalem.
The Palestinian was shot and injured by Fuld, before the soldiers detained him; he is currently in a moderate condition at an Israeli hospital.
