January 12, 2016

The occupation forces arrested on Monday a Jerusalemite from the neighborhood of Ein Al-Lozeh in Silwan after pulling him over and searching his vehicle. Witnesses explained to Wadi Hilweh Information Center that the occupation forces established a checkpoint in the neighborhood of Ein Al-Lozeh in Silwan and stopped vehicles and checked passengers’ IDs and also searched the vehicles. One vehicle was pulled over and the forces arrested the driver who was identified as Hani Haymooni –a resident of Al-Sweih neighborhood- in Ras Al-Amoud in Silwan. Witnesses added that the forces arrested the young man and took him to the police vehicle while his two children were left alone in the vehicle. The forces did not seem to care for the children who were crying; young men who were in the area took care of the kids until their mother arrived. The occupation authorities deliberately harass the locals of Silwan by establishing checkpoints in all neighborhood and especially in Ein Al-Lozeh, Bi’er Ayoub, Wadi Al-Rababa, Al-Bustan and Maragha and search vehicle and check passengers’ IDs; they also body-search some of them in an attempt to provoke them.
