| [IsraelTimes] Army says predawn detentions came in response to increase in violent riots, rock-throwing attacks coming from the West Bank village. The Israeli military conducted a predawn raid in the restive Paleostinian village of Nebi Saleh on Monday, arresting nine residents, the army said. According to the left-wing B’Tselem human rights ...not to be confused with individual rights,mind you... group, among the detainees was 15-year-old Muhammad Tamimi, who was apparently shot in the face with a rubber bullet by an IDF soldier late last year and whose cousin Ahed Tamimi
According to the army, in a total of nine suspects were tossed in the calaboose Book 'im, Mahmoud! from the village for participating in violent demonstrations or taking part in "popular terrorism," a catch-all term used by Israel to signify throwing rocks and Molotov cocktails at Israeli troops or roadways. The army said the raid was conducted "in light of the increase in the number of riots and popular terrorist acts coming from the village of Nebi Saleh." Elsewhere in the West Bank, IDF forces arrested seven other Paleostinian suspects believed to have taken part in violent protests or rock throwing attacks and seized thousands of shekels in the city of Bethlehem earmarked to fund terror activities, the army said. The military would not confirm that Muhammad Tamimi was among those arrested. | |
