The child, Jamil Arafat Al-Fakhoury, 8, suffered mild injuries, and was moved to the Al-Ahli Hospital in the city.

The incident took place near the Ibrahimi School, next to the Ibrahimi Mosque in the center of Hebron.

On Sunday evening February 10, four Palestinians have been injured in a traffic accident with a settler south of the southern West Bank city of Hebron.

On Sunday, January 13, a Palestinian child, 7, was moderately injured after being hit by a car driven by an Israeli settler near the Kidar illegal settlement, in occupied East Jerusalem; the settler fled the scene.

In October of last year, a Palestinian child suffered moderate injuries after being rammed by a settler’s vehicle near the Ibrahimi Mosque in the city.

Last September, another child was seriously injured after being hit by a settlers’ vehicle as she was walking home from school in Tiqoua’ village, near the West Bank city of Bethlehem.

The child was identified as Hayat Mohammad Suleiman, 8 years old. She was walking back home from school on the main road that is also used by Israeli settlers living in illegal Israeli settlements in the area.

Last August, an Israeli settler driving in Jaber Neighborhood, in Hebron, hit a Palestinian child then drove away.

In January of last year, a settler hit a Palestinian teenager at a checkpoint near Jerusalem, and then drove off leaving the wounded teenager behind.

Several claims have been filed with the Israeli police and the military in the occupied territories regarding hit and run ramming incidents carried out by Israeli settlers, but no actual measures were taken on the ground.

Picture

IOF destroys house in Beit Hanina, confiscates land in Bethlehem

Picture
Israeli occupation bulldozers demolished on Monday morning Tantash family's house in Beit Hanina, north of Jerusalem, under the pretext of being built without permit.

The IOF has surrounded the house and prevented residents from approaching it and blocked the roads leading to the neighborhood to prevent journalists from reaching the scene.

Wadi al-Hilweh Information Center stated that 12 family members are living in the house in an area of ​​about 130 square meters, noting that the home was built before 12 years.

The center said that the house's owner is physically disabled, noting that the house is considered a shelter for two families.

The statement emphasized that the demolition process was implemented without previous notification, warning against an Israeli scheme to demolish the whole neighborhood in favor of a settler road No. 21.

Meanwhile, occupation authorities notified Palestinians from the village of Nahalin in Bethlehem district south of the occupied West Bank of their intention to confiscate their lands, while settlers have opened wastewater into dozens of acres of agricultural land.

Chairman of the village council confirmed that the Israeli authorities have notified the villagers of the intended confiscation of ​​35 dunums of agricultural land in four different areas in order to expand the settlements of "Betar Illit" and "Nabi Daniel."

Settler population increases in the West Bank

Picture
The number of Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank grew by 4.7% in 2012, according to Settler Council figures.

The settler population stood at 360,000 at beginning of January 2013 compared to 343,000 in January 2012, according to the Yesha Council, the largest organization of West Bank settlers.

It said that since Israel pulled its settlers out of the Gaza Strip in 2005, population growth in the West Bank settlements averaged 5% annually, about three times that of the overall Israeli population growth.

The council attributed the growth spurt to the fact that more people are moving to existing settlements and to a high birth rate among religious settlers.

The two largest settlements are Modiin Ilit, a community of ultra-Orthodox Jews west of the West Bank city of Ramallah, with 58,000 inhabitants, and Beitar Ilit, an ultra-Orthodox settlement west of Bethlehem, with 44,000.

Maale Adumim, east of Jerusalem, is in third position with 39,000 settlers.

These figures do not include some 200,000 Israelis in a dozen settlement neighborhoods of east Jerusalem, annexed by Israel after its occupation in 1967.

Settlers represent 4.4 percent of the total population of Israel, which stands at 7.9 million people.

Two Arab MK's Receive Death Threats

Picture
Zahalka (Left) Basel Ghattas And Mousa Thiab

Two Arab members of Israeli Knesset (MK) received death threats sent in a form of a letter that was sent to the Al-Shams Radio. The letter says that MK's Jamal Zahalka and Basem Ghattas are conspiring against “the Zionist Project and the State of Israel”, and described the MK's as “traitors”.

The Arabs48 News Website reported that the letter was signed “Yoshoron Ben David”, and stated that “Arabs in the country are spitting in the well they drink from. As Arab parties are gaining power in the country, supporting the enemies of the state, we decided to act; therefore, the court has issued a death sentence against the above mentioned persons (referring to Zahalka and Ghattas).

The letter also claimed that Al-Shams Radio and other agencies “know very well the names of many other traitors but are not doing anything against them; the only means for those traitors to survive is to run to Egypt where they will be welcomed by the Muslim Brotherhood”.

The letter also indicated that the group issuing the death threats is not affiliated with any government agency, the army or the security forces, and that it is run by independent individuals.

It also said that “those sentenced to death are hereby asked not to be near citizens of the state so that innocent civilians do not get killed during the course of execution”, and added that some means that might be used in killing Zahalka and Ghattas could include poison, swine-flu, a sharp object falling on their heads, an explosion or a bullet to the head.

Head of the parliamentary bloc of the National Democratic Assembly, Mousa Thiab, informed the head of the security team at the Knesset of the contents of the letter, and demanded him to investigate the issue.

Also, journalist Jack Khoury filed an official complaint with the Police in Nazareth, and called on the Police and the intelligence agencies to take the death threats seriously, and to initiate an immediate investigation.

The National Democratic Assembly reported that hundreds of death threats were issued against Arab legislators over the last few years, but the Police never apprehended any suspect.

It also said that, even if the death threats were made by an insane or a lunatic person, the police must act and apprehend him as many crimes have been committed by insane persons.

The Assembly also said that there are many fundamentalist right wing groups in Israel that encourage, and even feed, racial discrimination against the Arabs in the country.

Israeli settlers desecrate Muslim cemetery

Picture
Israeli settlers have scrawled anti-Arab graffiti on the headstones in an ancient Muslim cemetery in Jerusalem.

Al-Aqsa Foundation for Endowment and Heritage said in a statement on Thursday that 30 graves were damaged where the settlers have written derogatory comments about Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him, and slogans against Arabs and Palestinians.

The Foundation held Israeli authorities responsible for not providing protection to the cemetery.

The attackers sprayed racist and anti-Islam graffiti on the headstones of the tombs on Thursday. "Death to the Arabs" and "Price Tag" was smudged on one of the defaced stones.

The Israeli practices came in light the Israeli Judaization projects against the cemetery through razing a large number of graves to establish a settlement projects and to blur the Arab and Islamic monuments.

Vandals Spray Paint Hateful Graffiti in Muslim Cemetery in Jerusalem

By Nir Hasson, Haaretz

Vandals spray painted malicious graffiti in the Muslim Mamila Cemetery in central Jerusalem on Thursday morning in the latest "price tag" attack. The messages "death to Arabs" and "Mohammed is dead" were painted on the tombstones, as well as 30 Stars of David.

The police have opened an investigation and municipal workers are already erasing the graffiti.

Last December, vandals spray painted hateful graffiti on the walls of the Monastery of the Cross in Jerusalem and on a car that was parked nearby, and slashed the tires of three vehicles.

The graffiti read "Happy Hanukkah – price tag", "Jesus is a son of a bitch", and "Victory for the Maccabees." The police opened an investigation into the incident, which appears to be part of a right-wing revenge campaign against Israel's policies in West Bank settlements.

Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat admonished the vandals and instructed city employees to remove the graffiti immediately. "We cannot accept such offensive and extreme incidents that are done in order to erode the coexistence in Jerusalem," Barkat said.

Israeli government gives convicted murderer 1.3 million for illegal takeover of Palestinian land

Picture
Menachem Livni

An Israeli settler who was released early from a life sentence for killing 3 Palestinians in 1983 has received compensation of 1.3 million NIS (around $250,000) from the Israeli Tax Authority for alleged damage to land that he has cultivated in the Hebron area – land that he illegally confiscated from its Palestinian owners.

Menachem Livni is a settler in the ultra-right wing settlement of Kiryat Arba, in the Palestinian city of Hebron, and says that he is entitled to the payments, and will continue to sue the Israeli government for more money.

Livni was convicted of the murder of three Palestinian students, and the wounding of 33 others, when he and two other right-wing settlers with the so-called ‘Israeli Underground’ threw hand grenades and fired automatic weapons at the Islamic College of Hebron in 1983.

He was sentenced to life in prison along with the other perpetrators of the attack, Shaul Nir and Uzi Sharbav, but he received an early release when he was pardoned by Israeli President Chaim Herzog in 1990.

He immediately moved to the Israeli settlement Kiryat Arba, which soon became known for violent attacks against Palestinians and illegal seizure of Palestinian land.

Livni himself took over a large swath of Palestinian farmland and began growing fruit. He was provided with his own contingent of Israeli military troops to protect his stolen swath of land from the Palestinian owners, who repeatedly attempted to reclaim it.

According to Livni, he had a lease on the land from the Israeli Settlement Authority. He told the Israeli paper Ha’aretz, “I am on the land with a permit and I have invested a lot of money in it. I want to renew the contract and there is an argument with the administration about whether the contract will be with the Settlement Department [of the Jewish Agency] or with me personally.”

But according to the Israeli government, any permit that may have existed expired in 2004. But the payments to Livni from the Israeli Tax Agency continued until at least 2009.

And the convicted murderer is continuing to demand more compensation from the Israeli government for alleged damage to the land he took over from its Palestinian owners.
