The Musta’ribeen (undercover unit) arrest four children from the neighborhood of Ras Al-Amoud…clashes in Jabal Al-Mukabber
The occupation forces targeted on Saturday the students of Ras Al-Amoud in Silwan and the village of Jabal Al-Mukabber through arrests, chases, sound grenades and rubber bullets. The Musta’ribeen unit arrested four children aged between 12-18 years. Wadi Hilweh Information Center was informed that the detainees are all students, they are: Mohammad Samer Sarhan (12), Hasan Abdullah Abbasi (13), Emran Amer Abu Sbeih (13) and Eyad Mohammad Jandal (18). Ras Al-Amoud The Information Center explained that the occupation forces stopped students since the early morning in the neighborhood of Ras Al-Amoud and searched and provoked them at Ras Al-Amoud checkpoint close to the Schools’ Street. The forces also stormed into Ras Al-Amoud Boys Secondary School and arrested the student Jibril Al-A’war from the school’s courtyard and transferred him to O’z police center in the village of Jabal Al-Mukabber on charges of throwing stones. The secretary of students’ parents’ district committee, Isam Abbasi, explained that clashes broke out in the Schools’ Street in Ras Al-Amoud since the early morning hours and lasted for several hours. He added that the forces heavily fired tear-gas canisters in the street as well as rubber bullets and sound grenades. He pointed out that students inhaled poisonous gases while inside their classrooms. Abbasi also added that Special undercover Forces stormed into the school around noon and arrested three students. Abbasi explained that the Musta’ribeen arrested six students last week and assaulted them. Most of them were released on the same day which proves the random-arrest policy. Abbasi denounced the Israeli targeting of Ras Al-Amoud Schools and their students through continuous harassment at checkpoints and arrests. Jabal Al-Mukabber In the village of Jabal Al-Mukabber south of Jerusalem, clashes broke out between young men and occupation forces stationed at the village’s entrance; one child suffered a minor injury after being targeted with a rubber bullet in his back. Sur Baher The District Committee of Um Tuba schools announced a strike on Saturday in the village’s schools due to the lack of commitment by the occupation municipality to provide guards for the school. The village was exposed to settlers’ assaults last month when they wrote racist slogans on the walls and set a resident’s vehicle on fire.
