Settlers prevent entry of Druze army workers into settlement
Picture
Settlers from the northern West Bank settlement of Yitzhar prevented entry into the settlement to two Druze workers who came for maintenance work on the nearby military post.

The workers were employed by a private contractor who won a tender to conduct work on behalf of the Israeli army. Israeli police and border police forces were sent to Yitzhar when the workers were prevented from entering the settlement, and confrontations ensued. Eventually the contractor replaced the workers with Jewish workers, and the work was completed.

Yitzhar residents told the Israeli media site Walla that "Employing Jews only is a Jewish and Zionist value. The residents' protest against entry of the Arabs...was passive for the duration of the event."

Picture
Settlers Building An Illegal Outpost

Palestinian medical sources have reported Thursday [August 29, 2013] that two resident have been injured in Qasra village, near the northern West Bank city of Nablus, after being attacked by a number of extremist Israeli settlers.

The sources said that the two suffered cuts and bruises to various parts of their bodies, and received the needed medical treatment.

The two wounded residents have been identified as Mohammad Shihada and Mahmoud Awwad.

Ghassan Daghlas, Palestinian official in charge of Israeli Settlements File in the northern part of the West Bank, stated that the settlers came from the illegal outpost of “Yesh Kodish”, adjacent to Qasra.

Daghlas added that the settlers also stole a tractor owned by a villager of Qasra, the Maan News Agency has reported.

A few months ago, extremist settlers raided the village, during late night hours, and burnt six Palestinian cars.

Sheikh Urges Palestinians to Protect Aqsa Mosque Wednesday
Picture
The head of the Islamic Movement in the 1948 occupied lands, Sheikh Ra'ed Salah has called on Palestinians living in Jerusalem and inside the Green Line to defend the Aqsa Mosque next Wednesday against the possibility of Jewish extremists desecrating the Mosque.

Sheikh Salah made his remarks in a khutba (sermon). He said, "A few days ago, specifically on August 21, we commemorated the anniversary of the criminal arson attack on the Aqsa Mosque, and it is known that the perpetrator or the criminal who was used to burn the Aqsa Mosque is called Michael Dennis Rohan, but as we started to collect leads and finding clues, we came to believe that the occupation was behind that crime and sponsored its occurrence, hoping then to erase the holy Aqsa Mosque from existence," according to a Palestinian news source. 

Sheikh Salah warned that there has been talk in the Jewish communities about a plan to violate the Aqsa Mosque on Wednesday, and he urged any Palestinian who is able to come to the Mosque and defend it with their presence.

Jerusalemite institutions warn of establishing Jewish Synagogue in Buraq Square
Picture
Islamic Jerusalemite institutions have warned of the Israeli scheme to establish a Jewish synagogue in the Buraq square in al-Aqsa mosque as part of the Jewish Sharansky plan  backed by Netanyahu. In a joint statement, the Head of the Awqaf Council Sheikh Abdel Azim Salhab, the Mufti of Jerusalem, Sheikh Mohammed Hussein, and Sheikh Dr. Ikrima Sabri, head of the Supreme Islamic Council, stated that the Israeli authorities work at changing the Islamic character of the Buraq wall that was set as an Islamic Waqf by international resolutions after Buraq revolution in 1929. 

The occupation authorities seek to destroy the Islamic civilization in the Umayyad palaces in total violation to international laws and norms, which prevent any attempt to make changes in Jerusalem as an occupied city that is officially included on the List of World Heritage in danger.

Israel works for Judaizing and taking control over al-Aqsa mosque which is a part of the Muslims' creed, the statement added, demanding an Arab and Islamic protection for the Islamic holy site.

For his part, Secretary General of Islamic-Christian Commission in Support of Jerusalem and Holy Sites, Hanna Issa, stated that the Judaization project, that is intended to be established in Buraq square, targets the whole area of al-Aqsa mosque.

He pointed out that the escalated Israeli break-ins into and violations in al-Aqsa mosque aim at wiping out the Islamic and Arab heritage and monuments in occupied Jerusalem.

In a related context, the occupation forces issued an order that banned the teacher Hanadi Halawani from having access to al-Aqsa Mosque under the guise of "maintaining security."

For its part, al-Aqsa Foundation for Endowment and Heritage condemned the Israeli ban that came in light of Israeli restrictions against Muslim worshipers and students at the mosque.

Meanwhile, the Israeli extreme right wing activist Aryeh King, who is running in the Jerusalem municipal elections, has vowed to prevent Muslim call to prayer in the city of Jerusalem.

He promised "to clean the capital's parks of Arabs and lower the volume on the muezzins", saying that he will work at improving quality of life in Jerusalem's peripheries.

His ad states:
“Muezzin?  [Muslim call to prayer]
We must have King [to silence them]”

The confrontations also spread to Al-Fawwar refugee camp to the south of Al-Khalil, where dozens of angry young men torched tires and clashed with the invading troops, who showered them with a hail of tear gas grenades.

A growing popular rage in the west Bank started in the West Bank after the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) at dawn Monday killed three young men and wounded many others during a violent raid on Qalandiya refugee camp, north of occupied Jerusalem.

Meanwhile, the IOF closed on the evening of the same day the northern crossing of Al-Khalil city for about two hours and prevented the Palestinian vehicles from going in or out.

Media Coordinator for Al-Aqsa Foundation for Waqf and Heritage Mahmoud Abu Atta said in a press statement that extremist settler groups, led by Yehuda Glick, stormed since the morning hours the Al-Aqsa Mosque in form of groups.

He added that Glick provided to the settlers explanations about the building of the alleged Temple, and they toured in different parts of the Mosque.

Meanwhile, Haaretz newspaper said on its website that the Israeli government and the Jerusalem municipality decided to transfer 16 million shekels ($4.5 million) to Elad association, in order to establish biblical gardens in the Silwan neighborhood south of the Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied Jerusalem.

An Israeli Prisoner Arrested for Sending Death Threat to Netanyahu
Picture
An Israeli prisoner at Hadarim Detention Center in central Israel has been arrested for sending a death threat to Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, The Jerusalem Post Israeli newspaper reported Thursday.

The Israeli police searched his cell and found that he is in possession of more than one self-style knife.

According to the newspaper, the 22-year-old prisoner was apparently angry at the Netanyahu's decision to release Palestinian security prisoners. He then sent Netanyahu a letter containing a death threat, prompting his arrest.

Ex-aluf incites Jewish students to intensively defile Aqsa Mosque
Picture
Uzi Dayan, a former Israeli army commander, called for repeating the scenario of the Ibrahimi Mosque in Al-Khalil with the Aqsa Mosque, and urged the Jewish students to intensively desecrate the Mosque. The Aqsa foundation for endowment and heritage strongly denounced Dayan's remarks and considered them as part of previous Jewish calls to divide the Aqsa Mosque.

It warned that the growing break-ins at the Aqsa Mosque by different Jewish groups are aimed at sowing the seeds for the execution of the Israeli Judaization scheme against the Aqsa Mosque.

The foundation said that Dayan's call for visiting what he claimed to be the temple mount and transferring the arrangements at the Ibrahimi Mosque to it are actually aimed at raising the pace of violations and break-ins at the Aqsa Mosque.

It noted that the Jewish groups, including students, practically defile the sanctity of the Aqsa Mosque almost on a daily basis and many such incidents have been documented by Imara foundation for the Aqsa Mosque and the holy places.

In a related context, Palestinian lawmaker Mona Mansour said that the arson attack on the Aqsa Mosque that happened 44 years ago and the consequent international silence on this crime encouraged the Israeli occupation regime to go far in its violations against the Aqsa Mosque and the other Islamic holy places.

MP Mansour told Quds Press on Wednesday that some Palestinians did not stand up for the Aqsa Mosque and instead resumed their shameful negotiations with the Israeli occupation, which persists in violating the sanctity of the Mosque and waging an all-out war on the Palestinians and their property in the holy city.

She added that the Palestinian authority's negotiations provided the Israeli regime with a cover to continue its violations against Jerusalem and the Aqsa Mosque.

Israel monastery firebombed in suspected hate crime
Picture
Unknown assailants threw a Molotov cocktail at a Roman Catholic monastery in Israel and scrawled racist graffiti on its walls, a police spokeswoman said Wednesday, in a suspected hate crime.

"A Molotov cocktail was thrown at the wall of the Beit Jamal monastery, near Beit Shemesh," in central Israel, Luba Samri said in a statement, adding that "it caught fire."

"Hebrew graffiti was also scrawled on the monastery walls, reading 'Gentiles perish' and 'revenge,'" she added.

According to Samri, the attack most likely took place overnight Monday.

"Police were investigating all directions, including nationalistic motivation," she said.

In past years, Christian sites in Israel have been targets of hate crimes by suspected Jewish extremists. These incidents come in addition to attacks against mosques, which have been linked to the "price tag" campaign of Israeli extremists opposed to state moves to dismantle unauthorized settler outposts.

Initially carried out against Palestinians in retaliation for state moves to dismantle unauthorized settler outposts in the occupied territories, "price tag" attacks became a much broader phenomenon with racist and xenophobic traits.

Another Price Tag Attack Targets Christian Monastery Near Jerusalem

A Christian Monastery in the Deir Jamal area, between Jerusalem and Ramla, was attacked by a Molotov cocktail, while racist graffiti, used by Price Tag extremist Israeli groups, were found on its exterior walls, the Arabs48 news Website has reported.

The Monastery is currently holding a number of summer camps; various Racist graffiti such as Price Tag and Revenge have been found in Hebrew on its exterior walls, the Arabs48 News Website has reported.

Patriarch Fuad Twal, archbishop of the Roman Catholic Church, visited the monastery and strongly denounced the repeated attacks carried out by Israeli Price Tag extremists against churches and mosques in different parts of Palestine.

Greek Orthodox Archbishop, Atallah Hanna, also denounced the attack on Deir Jamal Monastery, and stated that the graffiti and the nature of the attack is similar to frequent attacks carried out by racist, extremist Israeli settler groups that do not believe in coexistence, and human brotherhood.

“We have witnessed increasing attacks against Islamic and Christian holy sites, and even graveyards, the message is to get us out of our land”, Hanna said, “But, our response is that we are here to stay, this is our homeland, those are our holy sites, and we reject all forms of racism and fundamentalism regardless of their origin”.

On Monday at dawn [June 24], a number of masked extremist Israeli settlers attacked 22 Palestinian cars in Beit Hanina, in occupied East Jerusalem, punctured their tires before drawing the Star of David on one of the vehicles, and wrote racist graffiti on the front wall of a local home.

Jewish settlers break into Aqsa plazas
Picture
Jewish settlers broke into the Aqsa Mosque at an early hour on Wednesday morning to offer Talmudic rituals under heavy police protection. The Aqsa Foundation for Endowment and Heritage (AFEH) said in a statement that around 30 settlers entered the holy site and toured its plazas as Israeli police forces facilitated their tour and restricted movement of Muslim worshipers and scholars.

It warned that the Aqsa Mosque was passing through a critical stage due to the Israeli occupation authority’s escalated targeting of the holy site as evident in the vigorous excavations under it and in its vicinity.

AFEH asked the Palestinian people and the Arab and Islamic world to stand united to resist occupation and foil its scheme against the Aqsa.

Document proves Amona outpost is Palestinian property
Picture
A document released by Israeli civil administration exhibited that Palestinians continued to cultivate the land where Amona outpost had been installed until 1996, according to Haaretz newspaper's Wednesday's edition. This document refutes settlers' claim that the land where the outpost is located was an uninhabited territory.

The newspaper said that Amona, one of the first outposts built on Palestinian land in the West Bank, was set up on private Palestinian land registered in Department of Land Registry in the name of its respective Palestinian owners who are residents of Silwad town northeast of Ramallah.

The Israeli authorities demolished 8 buildings after a petition to demolish the outpost was filed in 2008 by Yesh Din on behalf of the Palestinian landowners.

It added that the settlers continued to claim for many years that the place was desolated, but the facts proved that the land not only does belong to Palestinians, but they were cultivating it until 1996.

On behalf of the nongovernmental organization Yesh Din, attorney Michael Sfard argued before the court on Tuesday that the state had flip-flopped on its stance to demolish Amona outpost , which is home to 30 housing units.

Salah added that the settlers also installed a shed, and built a large home, adding that the area is question is 150 Dunams (37 Acres) of privately owned Palestinian lands.

The Israeli government recently approved hundreds of units for Jewish settlers in the occupied West Bank, including in occupied East Jerusalem.

The approvals came despite the resumption of direct peace talks between Tel Aviv and Ramallah, and were seen as a provocative move that is meant to kill the negotiations in their track.

Settlements are illegal under International Law and the Fourth Geneva Convention to which Israel is a signatory.

During his recent meeting with UN Secretary General, Ban ki-moon, Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Israel would continue to build and expand settlements in occupied East Jerusalem.

Netanyahu also said that all of Israel’s settlements, and what he described as “new neighborhoods”, would always remain under Israeli sovereignty.

Amal Sub Laban (Um Louai) explained to Wadi Hilweh Information Center what happened with the family saying: “while I was on my way home in Al-Qirmi neighborhood along with some family members, one settler who follows my son Adam on a daily basis was staring at us and suddenly he disappeared. We kept on walking, and while I was helping my husband walk since he is paralyzed as a result of a stroke and we were only a few meters away from our home, I heard my son Adam screaming. I rushed to him only to find 20-30 settlers attacking him and then they attacked me using sticks and iron chains as well as randomly spraying us with gas. My son Louai heard us scream and upon his arrival, the settlers surrounded him and attacked him as well.”

She added: “I tried to scream and get them to move away from my sons Louai and Oday, but I did not succeed especially that they sprayed me with a good amount of gas on my eyes and from a close distance; they also attacked me and my paralyzed husband using their belts on our bodies.”

She explained that she tried to appeal for a group of Jews and the synagogue security next to her house to call the police, noting that the police arrived and moved the settlers away. Ambulances arrived at the scene as well and all family members were transferred to Hadassah Ein Kerem and Shaare Zedek hospitals for treatment as they were all injured with bruises, wounds and burns; Oday had 4 stitches in his head.

Picture
Al-Aqsa foundation for endowment and heritage warned that the Jewish settlers and the Israeli occupation forces would intensify their sacrilegious break-ins at the Aqsa Mosque during the coming days and months. The foundation said that the Israeli official institutions, including the Knesset, and its wings are creating the atmosphere on the ground and in the media for massive Jewish break-ins at the Aqsa Mosque on the occasion of the Jewish holidays.

It said that since the end of the holy month of Ramadan and Eid Al-Fitr, the Israeli occupation hastened to resume its daily break-ins at the Aqsa Mosque, noting that dozens of Jewish settlers, soldiers and foreign tourists have defiled the Mosque since last Sunday.

The Aqsa foundation called for serious Islamic and Arab moves to protect Jerusalem and the Aqsa Mosque, and urged the Palestinians in the occupied territories to frequent the Mosque.

Israeli settlers badly injure Palestinian shepherd

Six Israeli settlers have attacked and badly injured a Palestinian shepherd and his son in the occupied West Bank city of Ramallah, reports say.

The Monday assault happened outside the village of Michmas near the city of Ramallah, where the settlers took away 47-year-old Nagheh Thanjbeh and his son in a car at knife-point and brutally beat them.

The attackers then stabbed the man in the head and broke all his fingers. They also fractured the boy’s hands and killed two sheep belonging to them. The victims have been shifted to a Ramallah hospital.

In recent years, Israeli settlers in the West Bank have often assaulted Palestinians and vandalized their property. However, the Tel Aviv regime rarely detains the assailants.

The Israeli regime maintains a defiant stand on the issue of its illegal settlements on Palestinian land as it refuses to freeze settlement expansion. Tel Aviv has come under repeated and widespread international condemnation over the issue.

More than half a million Israelis live in over 120 illegal settlements built since the 1967 Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories of the West Bank and East al-Quds (Jerusalem).

Human rights groups accuse Tel Aviv of ignoring complaints by the victims of settler attacks.

Report: Shepherd attacked with iron rod

A shepherd was attacked Sunday near the Migron outpost by masked men, witnesses reported. The victim, 47, was evacuated to the Ramallah hospital with moderate to severe head injuries. The Judea and Samaria Police Department launched an investigation and is searching for the assailants.

The attack occurred Sunday morning, as a group of shepherds from the village of Mukhamas crossed an underground tunnel under Route 60, and came across a group of masked men at the other end. Najeh Abu Ali, who finished crossing first, said six men in masks attacked him with sticks and sharp objects. The victim added that the men beat him on his head, stabbed him and several of his sheep. The shepherds who crossed the tunnel after Abu Ali, saw the assailants only as they were fleeing the scene, leaving Abu Ali bruised and beaten. The victim's friends then carried him to the road, where they managed to stop a car to take him to a hospital.

According to one of his friends, the hospital found that Abu Ali had multiple fractures in his body and needed 75 stitches to his head and torso. "The six attackers were waiting for him at the other side of the tunnel," his friend said. "They were wearing masks and as soon as he stepped out of the tunnel, they started to attack him with iron rods. Then they killed and injured some of the sheep and ran away."

The friend added that after the incident, representatives of the Palestinian coordination and liaison department questioned him so as to start an investigation in coordination with the police and the IDF. This was the first time that Abu Ali was attacked, but according to his friends, several attacks have occurred in the region. The victim noted he intended to file a complaint with the help of B'Tselem once he recuperated.

About 35 settlers and 6 Israeli intelligence elements stormed on Thursday morning the Al-Aqsa Mosque from the Mughrabi Gate under the protection of the occupation police. Mahmoud Abu Atta, media coordinator for Al-Aqsa Foundation for Waqf and Heritage, said in press statements that 20 settlers stormed in the early morning hours the Al-Aqsa Mosque. They started touring the Mosque's courtyards when 15 other Israelis joined them later.

Meanwhile, six intelligence elements raided the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock, Abu Atta added.

He pointed out that Al-Aqsa Mosque has been witnessing a state of high alert by the Israeli police, as well as a state of extreme anger among the Palestinian students, worshipers and the mosque guards, especially as the raids have continued for the fifth day.

More than one 1440 settlers and soldiers stormed the mosque during the past month, according to data gathered by the Aqsa Foundation for Endowment and Heritage (AFEH).

AFEH said in a press statement that the Al-Aqsa Mosque witnessed last July raids by nearly 1109 settlers, in addition to 18981 foreign tourists, 195 intelligence elements and 132 soldiers.

The foundation added that about 190 settlers have stormed the Mosque since the beginning of this week.

Jewish religious institution to build synagogue in al-Aqsa mosque
Picture
A new Jewish religious institution was recently established with aim of establishing a Jewish synagogue on parts of the Al-Aqsa Mosque. Al-Aqsa Foundation for Endowment and Heritage stated that the Israeli authorities approved the establishment of a new Jewish institution, consisting of Jewish rabbis, aiming at establishing a synagogue on parts of al-Aqsa Mosque.

The Foundation warned of the seriousness of this process, which indicates the Israeli escalation against the mosque.

Jewish organizations are making frantic efforts, both overtly and covertly, to complete the Judaization of al-Aqsa mosque and to take control of it, especially following the recurring invasions of al-Aqsa and the attacks on worshippers in an attempt to establish fait accompli regarding the mosque and divide it.
