Arresting 12 Jerusalemites including a senior citizen
The Israeli forces arrested 12 Jerusalemites on Thursday early morning including a senior citizen and two of his sons. Wadi Hilweh Information Center was informed that the occupation forces arrested the 72-year old Mahmoud Abu Ghazaleh and his 29-year old son Ali after raiding their house in the neighborhood of Al-Sowaneh to arrest his younger son Majdi. Since Majdi was not home at that time, the forces arrested his brother and his father to force Majdi to turn himself in. Abu Ghazaleh family explained that the forces surrounded the house before breaking-in and searched the rooms, and then arrested the father and his son and took them to the settlement of “Bet Aort” that is established on the lands of Al-Sowaneh; note that they were later transferred to Al-Maskobyeh. Majdi turned himself in to Salah Eddin Street police station and was then transferred to Al-Maskobyeh and the police released his father and brother. In a related matter, Al-Dameer organization lawyer Mohammad Mahmoud said that the Israeli forces arrested the minors Mouath Salaymeh (16), Mohammad Salaymeh, Ashraf Eweisat, Saber Obeid, Fares Eweisat and Mohammad Saleh.
