Palestinian security forces detain nearly 100 across Jenin
Picture
Palestinian National Security Services said Saturday that they had detained nearly 100 people in the northern West Bank as part of a security campaign to tackle disorder in the Jenin region following weeks of protests.

They explained that they would continue their pursuit of Palestinians accused of creating "chaos" and "attacking people’s properties" in the northern West Bank, adding that among the 100 individuals detained were youths between the ages of 14-15.

Jenin Governor Talal Dweikat said that "the security campaign will continue and that some of those directly responsible for the chaos and attacks and burning of properties in Jenin remain at large."

Dweikat added that investigations with many of those detained show that many of the teenagers were involved in the attacks, and some have even admitted shooting at the buildings of the Palestinian Authority.

Dweikat denied the involvement of any organized Palestinian political factions in the attacks, including Hamas and Islamic Jihad. However, he did say that Hamas was involved in incitement against the Palestinian Authority and the security services.

He added that "the campaign targets individuals who broke the law, not factions or groups."

Palestinian security forces deployed in Jenin on Oct. 4 as part of a crackdown focused on tackling the disorder in the region which followed the killing of Islam al-Tubasi last month by Israeli forces.

Islam al-Tubasi was a Palestinian youth who was killed by Israeli security forces in a raid on his family home in Jenin refugee camp on Sept. 17. The killing sparked massive protests and a wave of outrage, particularly as it followed weeks of violent Israeli crackdowns across the areas.

The Palestinian National Security Forces are the paramilitary force of the Palestinian National Authority. Their movements and operations are widely subject to Israeli approval. A significant part of their funding and training comes from the United States and other Western countries.

Forum of journalists slams arrest of three journalists by PA and Israel
Picture
The forum of Palestinian journalists strongly denounced the arrest campaigns that are launched mutually by the Palestinian Authority (PA) and Israel against Palestinian journalists in the West Bank, especially the recent detention of three of them as they were covering events related to Jerusalem and the Aqsa Mosque. In a press release on Friday, the forum said that the PA intelligence agency kidnapped cameraman Mus'ab Saeed on Thursday outside Al-Bireh municipal council and confiscated his camera after he covered a symposium on the Aqsa Mosque staged by organizers of the Palestinian campaign "I have the right to pray at the Aqsa"

It affirmed that the arrest of Saeed took place concurrently with the detention of two other cameramen by the Israeli police as they were taking photos of Jewish settlers defiling the Aqsa Mosque under police protection.

The forum also said that the Israeli occupation forces prevented on Friday a number of journalists from entering Kafr Qaddum village to cover the weekly march against settlement activities.

The forum stressed that the arrest of journalists covering events in support of the Aqsa Mosque reflects the behavioral deviance of those in charge of the PA security apparatuses.

Picture
Sheikh Jamal Abul Haijaa

Fierce clashes broke out last night between Palestinian young men and the Palestinian authority security forces in Jenin refugee camp after a raid on the house of senior Hamas official Sheikh Jamal Abul Haijaa, who is still in an Israeli jail. The PA security forces claimed they raided the house to arrest Hamza, the son of Sheikh Abul Haijaa.

Local sources said that the young man of the camp taught the PA security forces a lesson on how to deal with the families of prisoners and martyrs and confronted them courageously.

They added that the young men hurled stones and empty bottles at the PA security forces as they usually do when the Israeli occupation forces invade the camp.
 
The sources also said that many young men and children suffered tear gas suffocation during the clashes which lasted for several hours.
 
Umm Abd, the wife of Sheikh Abul Haijaa, said she was alone when the PA security forces stormed the house late at night, affirming that they behaved in an inappropriate manner during the raid.

She added the PA security forces were not able to arrest her son because he was not home at the time, expressing her belief that they knew he was not at home, but they wanted to harass the family and disturb the public peace in the camp.

Picture
The collaboration with the Israeli occupation is limited to a few cases and didn’t develop to a phenomena as some tries to propagate, Salah Abu-Sharikh, Director of Internal Security said. “We witnessed great improvement in the means and procedures used to crack down on collaborators with Israel; our security apparatuses are doing their best; we carried out educational and awareness campaigns in schools and universities to prevent this disease,” he added.

Abu-Sharikh explained that the contacts between Palestinian security apparatuses and Egyptians are done on daily basis to maintain security on the Egyptian borders.

Ministry of Interior (MoI) previously announced inauguration of a repentance campaign for collaborators with Israel, calling on all of them to quit by bringing themselves to justice.

Al-Saadi: what is happening in Jenin is an explicit targeting of resistance
Picture
The leader in Jihad movement in Jenin Sheikh Mahmoud al-Saadi said that what is happening in Jenin Refugee Camp is an explicit targeting of resistance, holding the PA fully responsible for the consequences and responsibilities of its actions. Regarding the PA forces' recent raids against martyrs and prisoners' houses in Jenin, al-Saadi pointed out to the PA's scheme to undermine resistance in Jenin camp and to fully liquidate this phenomenon in favor of the occupation.

There is big difference between lawlessness and resistance, he said, stressing that those responsible for lawlessness have no relation with resistance.

The leader in Jihad movement stated that the PA has no strategy to confront the occupation, saying that his movement has suggested more than once either to support or to condone resistance elements as a response to the Israeli settlers' escalated attacks and settlement expansion.

He pointed out that jihad movement has called for a unified strategy for resistance, but the PA only believes in negotiations and not interested in any form of resistance.

Al-Saadi stressed that Jihad movement is not involved in confronting PA security forces who only implement orders to raid the camp, holding the Governor of the Jenin Province, Talal Dweikat, responsible for the tensions in the refugee camp.

He strongly condemned the PA forces' raid into the camp, noting that three Palestinians were martyred during last month by Israeli fire amid full absence of PA forces.

Jenin refugee camp is daily subjected to Israeli arrest and raid campaigns while PA force has never intervened to put an end to the Israeli attacks, he noted.

Al-Saadi asserted that what is happening today in Jenin refugee camp came as a result of security coordination, considering it an explicit targeting of resistance.

The leader in Jihad movement of al-Saadi stressed that the resistance factions in the Jenin refugee camp agreed not to confront PA security elements despite all the continued provocations.

In the fourth raid in two days

PA security forces stormed Jenin refugee camp at noon Monday and shot at the son of Islamic Jihad leader Bassam Al-Saadi in a bid to arrest him. Eyewitnesses told the PIC reporter that a joint force of the PA security agencies broke into the camp and tried to arrest Suhaib Bassam Al-Saadi from his family home at the outskirts of the camp.

Hamas holds PA responsible for aggression on Palestinians in West Bank
Picture
Hamas movement held the Ramallah government and the PA's leaders and security services full responsibility for the aggression on the Palestinians in occupied West Bank. Hamas called on the Palestinian Authority to release the resistance in the occupied West Bank and to stop once and for all chasing the Palestinian resistance fighters and leaders so that they can defend and protect their land and holy sites.

Fawzi Barhoum, Hamas spokesman, hailed in a press statement on Sunday, the people of the West Bank for their resistance operations that are targeting the Israeli soldiers in response to the occupation's violent and terrorist practices against the Palestinian people, land and holy sites.

Barhoum strongly denounced the Authority's dangerous and persistent campaign in the West Bank, which has recently targeted Jenin and its refugee camp, and pointed out that the PA's apparatuses are chasing and attacking the resistance fighters and Palestinian icons in coordination with the occupation forces.

The Palestinian government in Gaza also called on the Ramallah authority to start adopting a national program based on unity and liberation.

Media Advisor to the Prime Minister Taher al-Nunu said in a statement published on his Facebook page on Sunday: "The security crackdown in the Jenin must stop", and he called for halting security coordination with Israel.

Picture
The Palestinian authority (PA) security forces stormed on Saturday evening Jenin refugee camp for the second time during one day and kidnapped a senior Islamic Jihad figure and his brother-in-law. Eyewitnesses told the Palestinian information center (PIC) that a large number of troops from the PA security agencies stormed the camp at 10 o'clock in the evening while wildly firing shots in the air, which caused panic among the citizens, especially the children and women.

They added that the PA forces also opened fire at a power transformer used to feed the street lighting of the camp, which caused a complete blackout on the streets.

They affirmed that the forces then raided the house of Islamic Jihad figure Khaled Abu Zainna, 55, and kidnapped him along with his brother-in-law Ali Al-Ararawi before they withdrew to the outskirts of the camp.

This raid took place after dozens of PA security elements stormed earlier at dawn the same refugee camp and kidnapped six Islamic Jihad members from their homes.

For its part, the Hamas Movement strongly denounced the PA security campaign in Jenin refugee camp and the raids on homes of national figures, martyrs and prisoners.

"We have been following with great concern the campaign which were launched last night and at dawn Saturday in Jenin camp and we were surprised by the course of events which took place and the size of media deception that was used to propagate that the campaign was against lawlessness, corruption and venal people," Hamas stated in a press release yesterday.

"The [PA security] apparatuses practiced a campaign of deception and misguidance against the public opinion through announcing that their [security] campaign was launched to combat corruption and law-breakers while, in fact, it targeted the homes and relatives of resistance fighters, martyrs, prisoners and national figures," the Movement emphasized.

Picture

A state of outrage and tension prevailed among the citizens in Jenin camp following the PA raid campaign, saying that it came as part of the PA and Israeli forces security coordination especially that the camp is subjected to daily Israeli break-ins.

The PIC correspondent said that the raid campaign in Jenin refugee camp came few hours after PA head of government Dr. Rami Hamdallah's visit to the city of Jenin where he affirmed that security campaigns would continue.

Picture
Palestinian Authority security apparatuses in the West Bank arrested and summoned five Hamas affiliates, while the PA's courts extended the detention of two others. In al-Khalil, the General Intelligence Service arrested a university student after a raid on his work place on Wednesday night.

It also summoned the former head of the student union at the University of al-Khalil, Easa Saleh, aged 32 from Yatta south of the city, for the 130th time.

Easa Saleh was one of the prominent leaders of the Islamic bloc. He is a liberated prisoner who served nearly 44 months in the occupation prisons, and a former political detainee who spent one year in the PA jails , including 6 months in solitary confinement.

PA security sent a force to Jenin to intimidate the citizens
Picture
PA security leadership sent on Wednesday 800 security elements to the city of Jenin, to prove that the PA is able to suppress any moves against it, after the recent events in the city following the killing of Islam Toubasi. Jenin city and its refugee camp have witnessed a wave of protests against the practices of the PA security agencies following the assassination of Toubasi.

Governor of Jenin Talal Dweikat said that the aim of bringing this force is to send message that the PA will crack down on any moves against it, especially after the clashes between its security apparatuses and the angry citizens following the martyrdom of Toubasi.

Youth activist Mohammed Nassar told PIC's correspondent that the PA security leaders are deliberately linking the chaos with the resistance in an attempt to intimidate the citizens and deter the resistance forces in Jenin.

Sa'id Zakarneh, a resident in Jenin, said that bringing such force to send a message to intimidate the citizens is an unacceptable language and has failed many times before.

He added: "the Authority is required to resort to the language of dialogue and not the language of threat."

PFLP: Security coordination with the occupation prevents a third Intifada
Picture
Khalida Jarrar, a leading figure in Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), said that security coordination between the Palestinian Authority and the occupation represents one of the key factors that hinders the outbreak of a third popular uprising in the West Bank. Jarrar noted in a press statement that the security coordination with the occupation still continues "despite the Israeli continuing attacks against the Palestinians, their properties and holy sites."

She said that there are attempts to deprive the Palestinians from their right to express their rejection of the occupation policies against them, and pointed out that these attempts represent "the main cause that prevents the outbreak of confrontations with the occupation."

Regarding the outbreak of a third Intifada, she stressed that it needs many factors; mainly national unity and an end to the state of internal division, in addition to a unified field leadership of the uprising and continued events rejecting the occupation of the land.

The PFLP official also considered that "the negotiations serve only the occupation’s interests. "The occupation aims through the negotiations to mislead the international public opinion in light of its persistent violations against the Palestinian citizens."

She urged the Authority and its negotiating team to immediately halt the negotiations with the occupation and to put a resistance strategy to defend the Palestinian people, their rights and their holy places.

"The Palestinian people have the right to defend their rights with all means. All the attempts to suppress the people and restrict their freedom must be immediately removed to help them confront the occupation and its racism," Jarrar added.

Qraawi considers political arrests a stab to the Palestinian people

The MP Fathi Qraawi has strongly condemned the PA continued arrests against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank. The MP for Change and Reform parliamentary bloc, affiliated to Hamas movement considered political arrests a stab in the side of the Palestinian people.

Most of the Palestinian people are suffering due to the continued and escalated political arrests where they are deprived of their basic right of freedom of expression, he said.

MP Qraawi warned of the continuing political arrests, saying that peoples all over the world aspire to restore their freedom and dignity when these are usurped.

Reinforcements for security forces arrive in Jenin
Reinforcements arrived on Wednesday for the national security forces in Jenin, in part of a campaign to increase security in the city.

Around 560 armed special forces officers arrived at Horsh al-Saada camp in 70 military vehicles. They were greeted by Jenin governor Talal Dweikat and Gen. Fathi al-Tayeh.

“This force arrived to help security forces in their efforts to maintain the safety and security of the city,” Dweikat told Ma’an.

He added that they are there “to protect the belongings and money of people and apprehend anyone involved in the recent attacks in Jenin”.
Security forces have arrested dozens of people suspected in shooting at government buildings and vandalizing shops and cars in Jenin last month.

Dweikat said that most Palestinians want order to return in the area.

He added that this campaign did not have a specific time limit, and said that “we will continue to provide our services to all Palestinians to give them a calm life and a safe and stable environment”.
Interior Ministry: Hamas executes prisoner for murder
Picture
Hamas on Wednesday hanged a prisoner who had been convicted of murder, its interior ministry said, despite international calls for a halt to executions.

Hamas last carried out the death penalty for a criminal offence in July 2012, normally reserving the sentence for "collaborators."

"At 4:30 p.m. on Oct. 2, the death penalty was carried out against Hani Mohammed Abu Aliyan from Khan Yunis for his crime of killing Hazem Hassan Barham," the ministry said in a statement.

The territory's appeals court had rejected challenges against the sentence, the ministry said.

Human rights groups have repeatedly urged Hamas to halt executions, including that of Abu Aliyan, which was initially to be carried out after the Muslim Eid al-Fitr holiday in August.

Amnesty International on Wednesday reiterated its call ahead of the hanging.

"The authorities in Gaza must urgently stop the execution scheduled for today," the London-based watchdog's Middle East director Philip Luther said.

"It is deeply disappointing that the Hamas de facto administration is returning to using the gallows after a brief reprieve in the summer."

Hamas on June 22 hanged two men accused of collaborating with Israel.

But Wednesday's hanging was the first time since July 2012 that the Islamist group has implemented capital punishment for murder, when it executed three Palestinians.

Under Palestinian law, collaboration with Israel, murder and drug trafficking are all punishable by death.

The latest execution was carried out in front of "concerned parties" and "the elite of Palestinian society," Hamas said, without giving further details.

A second interior ministry statement said Abu Aliyan had committed two murders -- that of Barham and of an unnamed child -- but did not specify if he had been sentenced for the second murder.

Abu Aliyan killed a six-year-old identified by the initials M.A. in 2000 "by striking the child on the head with a sharp instrument ... and then beating his head with a large rock" after he had lost consciousness, it said.

He killed Barham, whom he knew, in 2009 by stabbing him to death over a quarrel about a financial loan, the statement said.

According to previous reports by Amnesty, 27-year-old Abu Aliyan confessed under torture to the rape and murder of the six-year-old boy.

PA preventive security kidnaps Sheikh Abu Arra

The Palestinian authority (PA) preventive security agency kidnapped on Sunday afternoon senior Hamas official Sheikh Mustafa Abu Arra after asking him to come over to its headquarters in Tubas city to get back his impounded ID card. An informed source told the Palestinian information center (PIC) that Sheikh Abu Arra went to the preventive security headquarters to get back his ID card, which has been impounded for several days, but he was held and sent to jail.

According to the source, Sheikh Abu Arra told his family that if he was not released on the same day, he would go on open-ended hunger strike in protest at his detention.

His family, in turn, held the PA and its preventive security agency fully responsible for the safety of Sheikh Abu Arra because of his suffering from a heart condition and other serious health problems.

Sheikh Abu Arra had been detained four times during this month by the PA preventive security in Tubas.

In a separate incident, the PA preventive security in Tulkarem released on Sunday two senior member students of the Islamic bloc at Khadouri university and kept another one in detention.

A senior member of the Islamic bloc at the university told the PIC that the preventive security released his fellow members Odai Barri and Ahmed Fanni, and held Amro Diyab in detention without stating when he would be let go.

The three students had been kidnapped on Saturday by PA intelligence personnel outside their university and later they were handed over to the preventive security.

The PA security apparatuses launched an arrest campaign against the Islamic bloc students at the universities of Khadouri in Tulkarem and Annajah in Nablus during the last two days because of their involvement in organizing events in support of the Aqsa Mosque.
