BREAKING
Sheikh Qassem: Resistance is a source of power for Lebanon that must be preserved.
Sheikh Qassem: "Israel" must implement the agreement as Lebanon has already done so, and any new accord would amount to absolving it and opening the door to further attacks.
Sheikh Qassem: We do not wish to assume anyone's role; those accusing us of this must cease their accusations.
Sheikh Qassem: We will recover our lands through national solidarity; Resistance's goal is national liberation, while enemy goal is occupation.
Sheikh Qassem: Protection of sovereignty protects Lebanon. It is in real danger because of US belligerence, greedy Israeli expansion.
Qassem to Lebanese people: We are not asking for support but for us not to be stabbed in the back in the back or for some to serve Israeli interests; government is primary party responsible for [preservation of] sovereignty.
Sheikh Qassem: "Israel" can occupy, but it cannot persist in occupation of our land.
Sheikh Qassem: Intimidation will not change our stance of resistance and steadfastness. We are not advocates of surrender or defeat, and we will never accept it.
Sheikh Qassem: Where does US stand regarding enemy's unjustified assassination of a government worker and other civilian martyrs?
Sheikh Qassem: Is the Lebanese Army's defense of its land and citizens an accusation [leveled against it]? Where does US stand regarding the enemy's killing of civilians and constant destruction?

The Palestinian Center for Prisoners' Studies confirmed that "the [Israeli] occupation authorities have escalated, during the last year, from its policy of administrative detention of Palestinians, affecting all groups, including minors, where eight minors are currently under administrative detention."

The center stated, on Wednesday, that the "Ofer" Military Court issued a 6-month administrative detention decision against secondary student Yehya Mohammed Al-Rimawi, who is 17 years old, from Beit Rima, a neighborhood located west of Ramallah. Al-Rimawi was arrested by the Israeli occupation forces on April 17  after raiding his family home."

Moreover, a week ago, the occupation courts announced that 17-year-old Kassim Mohammed Houmada, the boy from Al-Khalil who had been detained in Israeli prison, was transferred to administrative detention for 6 months. Similarly, the captive 17-year-old Jamal Muhammad Adi, from the town of Beit Umm, north of Al-Khalil, was also sentenced to administrative detention for another 4 months.

The Director of the Research Center, Riad Al-Ashqar, said that "since the beginning of the year, the occupation courts have issued numerous administrative decisions against minors, some of which are new orders while others have been renewed for additional periods ranging from 3 to 6 months."

Al-Ashqar stated emphasized that "some minors who have passed childhood while behind bars," and accused the Israeli occupation of abusing the administrative detention procedure, "taking advantage of the permissible legal leave in exceptional circumstances and expanding its application, without adhering to the established judicial principles and procedures, as well as to the guarantees established by international law."

As such, Al-Ashqar argued that "Israel" has used administrative detention as "an instrument of collective punishment of Palestinians including women, children and the sick."

"Through the policy of administrative detention," argued Al-Ashqar, the occupation aims to force an aging population upon Palestine thus containing any resistance initiatives given that young Palestinians are likely to spend their lives behind bars "without legal basis," and through "secret files that no one is allowed to access."

Al-Ashqar revealed that as a result of the intensification of administrative detention orders against prisoners, the number of administrative prisoners in occupation prisons rose to more than 1,030, most of them who are considered liberated prisoners, known to have spent varying periods in prisons before getting arrested again.

Some of those liberated prisoners now under administrative detention are two female detainees: Rawda Abu Ajmiyah from Beit Lahm, and Raghad El-Qunah from Tulkarm, as well as 8 minors suffering from cancer.

Al-Ashqar reiterated his demand that international institutions "urgently intervene to halt this massacre of Palestinian prisoners" and "place strict restrictions on the imposition of administrative detention, in line with the provisions of humanitarian charters."

He also called on the Palestinian Authority to refer the case of unlawful administrative detention to international courts "to comply with the determinants imposed by the law when using this arbitrary policy."
