On Monday, Israeli soldiers abducted two Palestinians from Aqraba town, south of the northern West Bank city of Nablus, after a group of paramilitary Israeli colonizers assaulted them.
Local sources said the paramilitary colonizers invaded the town and assaulted Ayman Abdul-Ghani Bani Jaber and Ahmad Yousef Bani Jaber, causing various cuts and bruises.
They added that Israeli soldiers arrived at the scene and abducted the two wounded young Palestinian men, instead of removing the assailing colonizers.
The two were herding their sheep on Palestinian lands near Aqraba when the colonizers invaded the area.
On Monday evening, Israeli soldiers and paramilitary colonizers invaded Huwwara town, south of Nablus, and injured many Palestinians.
All of Israel’s colonies in the occupied West Bank, including those in and around occupied East Jerusalem, are illegal under International Law, the Fourth Geneva Convention in addition to various United Nations and Security Council resolutions. They also constitute war crimes under International Law.
Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention states: “The Occupying Power shall not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies.” It also prohibits the “individual or mass forcible transfers, as well as deportations of protected persons from occupied territory”.
Israeli troops have left Al-Shifa, Gaza’s largest hospital, after a brutal two-week raid that left much of the complex in ruins and killed many civilians and medical staff there. “This is part of the genocidal machine,” says Dr. @GhassanAbuSitt1, who has volunteered at Al-Shifa. pic.twitter.com/hwY6Gv4po1
