ACTION ALERT - CALL THE DCO (District Coordinating Office)




[Jayyous, QALQILIA] At 2:00AM Wednesday morning as many as 50-60
Israeli soldiers entered the West Bank village of Jayyous, where
they raided homes, hit villagers with their weapons and arrested six
men. They ransacked the homes of six families and stole all of the
family members' cell phones, and in one case, papers and
photographs. A family member of one of the arrested men said, "They
came in and treated us like animals." The Israeli soldiers claimed
they were "looking for weapons." NONE WERE FOUND.

At least 40 soldiers entered the Salim home. The family members were
blindfolded and handcuffed. The home was searched three times by
different groups of soldiers. When one of the family members asked
the soldiers why they entered his house, a soldier hit him with the
end of an M16 rifle and he was forced and held to the ground. After
three and a half hours, they then arrested the eldest brother,
Haitham Saleem and confiscated all of the family's cell phones.
Haitham is a 34 year old shopkeeper who is not involved in any
political activity. He has a heart condition and it is vital that he
take medication.

The soldiers then ransacked the the house directly next to the Salim
family home and forced all the women and children out into the
streets at 2:30AM.

More than a dozen soldiers then went to the home of Wajdi Musleh.
After breaking in and tearing through the house, the soldiers forced
all of the women and children into one room, and pulled aside an
elder in his 70's blindfolding and handcuffing him. They then
forced him to kneel on the floor and hit him. The parents' bed was
destroyed in this process. The soldiers then forced 21 year old
Wajdi into the courtyard and arrested him.

The soldiers used a bomb to open the front door of the home of Adam
and Ziad Harami. After ransacking the home, breaking open one of
the doors and leaving it inoperable, they told the whole family, "If
you do not give us all of your phones we will damage your whole
house." They arrested dam Harami, a 20 year old student at Al Najah
University in Nablus and Ziad Harami, a 25 year old barber from the
village of Jayyous.

The soldiers then tore through the homes of Shadi Towfiq Mahmoud
Saleem and Abdel Rahim, damaging many items in the homes. They
arrested Shadi, a 21 year old computer student at the Arab American
University in Jenin.

The soldiers damaged the front door when entering the home of Ahmed
Mohammed Towfiq Yousef Khaled. They 'searched' the home and stole
pictures of the family. They arrested Ahmed, a 21 year old Economics
student at Al Najah University in Nablus.
