At least 11 Palestinians detained in dawn raids across the West Bank
The raids reached four governorates, with homes searched, a vehicle seized and gas fired in two communities.
A tally of the raids recorded at least 11 Palestinians detained at dawn on Sunday, during Israeli raids on communities across the occupied West Bank.
The raids reached four governorates. In the Bethlehem governorate soldiers entered the villages of al-Minya and Kisan; in Ramallah, Beitin, Silwad, Beit Liqya, Kafr Malik, al-Mughayyir and Qarawat Bani Zeid; in Hebron, the al-Arroub refugee camp; and in Nablus, the New Askar camp along with Beita and Osarin.
The tally also recorded homes broken into and searched, a vehicle confiscated in al-Arroub refugee camp, and gas fired at residents there and in Qarawat Bani Zeid.
Among those named as detained were Qusai Abdul-Hadi Jabarin, Odai Ismail Jabarin and Ibrahim Abdul-Fattah Jabarin, along with Bassam Odeh, Ali Ghazal, Hamza Ibrahim Badwan, Ramzi Lotfi Hammad and Ahmad Nabil Suneif.
A raid of this kind does not end when the vehicles leave. What follows is a day of repairs to forced doors and searched rooms, work and school missed, and a household with no way of knowing when a detained relative will be returned or where he is being held.
The count is also cumulative. A dozen communities entered in a single night is the routine rate rather than an exceptional one, and it is that repetition across the same governorates that steadily raises the number of families with someone in custody.
