journalists Alaa al-Titi
At least 23 Palestinians were kidnapped by the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) at daybreak Monday in an abduction sweep rocking the West Bank.
The Israeli army claimed responsibility for the abduction of 23 Palestinians from the West Bank.
Israeli soldiers raided Nablus city and wreaked havoc on civilian homes before they kidnapped four Palestinian young men, among them 21-year-old Mohamed Amer. The occupation soldiers smashed the car of Amer’s brother.
Two Palestinian journalists—Alaa al-Titi and Amir Abu Aram—working for al-Aqsa TV Channel were also kidnapped by the occupation forces from al-Khalil and Ramallah provinces.
Last week, an Israeli court ruled that Aqsa correspondents be banned from working in the occupied West Bank for one year.
The campaign culminated in the abduction of two Palestinians from Bethlehem, another from Nablus, three from Ramallah, one from Jericho, and another from al-Khalil.
In the meantime, IOF soldiers in a flock of Israeli military jeeps stormed Jenin’s refugee camp, in the northern West Bank, and ransacked civilian homes before they kidnapped two Palestinian young men, identified as Nour al-Hendi and Hamouda Abu Khalifa.
The IOF further set up a military checkpoint near the main entrance to Jenin’s southern town of Yabad, where Palestinian civilians have been subjected to tough crackdowns and intensive inspection.

The Israeli occupation authority (IOA) on Wednesday shut down the Palestinian National Theater, locally known as the Hakawati Theater, in Occupied Jerusalem and prevented its management from holding a cultural event.
Local sources said that a number of Israeli police troops stormed the theater ahead of holding a Palestinian folkloric show and closed it, pointing out that the show was part of activities intended to revive the Palestinian cultural heritage.
An Israeli closure notice was put up on the main door of the theater saying that minister of public security Gilad Erdan ordered the closure of the Hakawati Theater after receiving information about intentions to hold an unlicensed cultural event under the auspices of the Palestinian Authority talking about the Arabs who were expelled from their homes in 1948 and 1967.
The Hakawati Theater was exposed to closure by the IOA several times before at the pretext of holding unlicensed events.
In a related incident, the Israeli police in Jerusalem handed photographer Ahmed Jalajel a summons for interrogation next Sunday after he filmed the Israeli closure of the Hakawati Theater yesterday.

Israeli soldiers destroyed, on Wednesday evening, a water pipeline and bulldozed an agricultural road in ‘Atouf village, south of Tubas, in northeastern West Bank, in addition to confiscating a tractor and a water truck in the West Bank’s Northern Plains.
Bashar Bani Odah, a member of ‘Atouf Local Council, said dozens of soldiers, accompanied by armored bulldozers, invaded an agricultural area, owned by the villagers, before destroying a water pipeline and bulldozing an agricultural road leading the targeted lands.
He added that the soldiers attacked a nonviolent procession against the escalating Israeli violations targeting the Palestinians and their lands in al-Baq’a Meadow, in the same area, wounding at least fifteen, and abducted two Palestinians, including a journalist.
In related news, the soldiers illegally confiscated a tractor and a water truck, owned by Jamil Khdeirat, from Bardala village, in the West Bank’s Northern Plains.
Israel controls all water resources, and frequently disconnects water supplies, an issue that forces the Palestinians to buy water, which is delivered to them by water trucks, for higher prices than they would normally pay if they had constant running water.

The Palestinian Center for Development and Media Freedoms (MADA) released a statement, on Thursday, denouncing a Gaza court’s absentia decision to imprison a female Palestinian journalist who is currently in Jordan receiving cancer treatment.
According to MADA, the Gaza Magistrate Court sentenced journalist Hajar Muhammad Abu Samra to six months in prison and a fine of 1,000 shekels ($284) over an investigative report done by Abu Samra, on the Arab television network more than a year ago, about corruption in the Medical Referrals Department in the Ministry of Health in Gaza Strip.
“MADA expresses its deep concern of this ruling that is considered a very serious precedent against media freedoms, freedom of expression and the role of the press in Palestine. It sees this as another setback to the growing repression of media freedoms,” the statement said, according to Ma’an News Agency.
The statement also highlighted that the decision was issued in absence of the journalist and without her or her lawyer’s knowledge. According to MADA, Abu Samra’s lawyer Mirvat al-Nahal, who works for the al-Mezan Center for Human Rights, learned of the decision through social media.
According to MADA, al-Nahal said she only found out about the decision “recently” despite it being issued on June 4. Al-Nahal also pointed out that “according to Article 403 of the Penal Code, the sentence should not be imposed on my client because of her health conditions, since she is currently abroad for treatment.”
MADA wished a “speedy recovery” for Abu Samra and called for annulment of the decision, which the group said “flagrantly violates media freedom and undermines it critical oversight role in the society.”
Hamas, the de facto ruling authority of Gaza, has stifled dissident voices in the blockaded Palestinian territory since the faction came to power after winning general elections in 2006.
MADA documented a total of 48 violations by authorities in the Gaza Strip against media freedoms in 2016 in its annual report, which highlighted incidents of security forces inflicting “certain types of torture” against Palestinian journalists during their detentions.
A continuation of Palestinian authorities — both in Gaza and the West Bank, which is governed by the Fateh-led Palestinian Authority — “prosecuting journalists in relation to their publications on social media sites,” was also reported.
