Local sources said that Qusai Shaher Salim, Ihab Talib Musha’al, and Ibrahim Ahmed Anayeh, all 17, as well as 13-year-old Rashad Ra’ed Shbeitah were arrested after Israeli forces raided their houses and forced them out into the street, despite the cold weather.
Israeli troops also arrested Khalil Mohammad Salameh al-Hwamdeh from Samu’a village south of Hebron after searching his house, and also arrested Ibrahim Salim Hurebat and Mohamad Jamil Jadallah from nearby Dura.
In the city of Jerusalem, Municipality staff workers raided souvenir shops belonging to the al-Ajlouni, Shweiki, Sinjlawi and Abdeen families on the al-Bazzar and Saweeqa Aloun streets in the Old City.
“The shop-owners were banned from leaving their shops and the staff counted all the products,” one of the owners told Palestinian government news wire Wafa.
The staff, accompanied by the Israeli special forces and police, also raided the shop of Abu al-Izz Erdogan on Abu Obeidah Ibn al-Jarah street. They removed the pictures of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan hanging in the shop and threw the Turkish flag in the trash.
The Municipality staff issued fines to shop owners for putting picture and logos in their shops. Azzam Marakeh, for example, was fined almost 42,000 NIS.
Israel also extended the detention of journalist Israa Salhab for 24 hours.
According to a member of Salhab’s family, “Isra’ was ordered to go to al-Moskobiya for questioning and then she was taken to another cell for continued interrogation.”
Isra’s husband is currently imprisoned by Israel. He was arrested nearly three weeks ago when the army broke into his home in Wadi al-Joz neighborhood in East Jerusalem.
Abdullah Qandil, a media spokesman for the Wa’ed society for prisoners and ex-prisoners, condemned Salhab’s detention and called on Israel to release her immediately. He said her arrest was illegal and violates international human rights law.
