The Israeli forces arrested on Sunday night 26-year old Ayoub Maragha after breaking into his commercial store in the neighbourhood of Ein Al-Lozeh in the town of Silwan, and injured a young girl and her sister with shrapnel of sound bombs. Clashes broke out between the young men and Israeli forces that raided the neighbourhoods of Bi’er Ayoub and Ein Al-Lozeh in Silwan in order to arrest Ayoub Maragha. Adli Ahmad Abu Tayeh told Wadi Hilweh Information Center that an Israeli force raided Ein Al-Lozeh and attempted to arrest a child who was sitting on a motorbike for no reason and verbal altercations broke out between the forces and the child’s mother and then they arrested Ayoub Maragha from inside his cell phone store. Abu Tayeh added that the forces randomly fired sound and gas bombs in Hosh Abu Tayeh which led to the injury of 15-year old Diana Abu Tayeh with burns in her hands and legs; note that she is diabetic and her 16-year old Baha’ was also injured in his feet. Abu Tayeh also said that the forces broke the windows of several houses and cars using the butts of their rifles and also fired bombs towards the women who were present in the neighbourhood. The young men responded by throwing stones at the Israeli forces and broke the windows of several police cars that broke into the area of Ein Al-Lozeh. The Center was informed that the forces fired a gas bomb inside a store that sells birds and that is owned by Maher Kash’am in the neighbourhood of Ein Al-Lozeh. Kash’am explained that the forces fired a gas bomb and a sound bomb inside his store which caused the electric wires to blow and led to the burning of the store. As a result, more than 10 birds died and several others were injured.
