• 

The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced the martyrdom of Hamza Amjad Al-Ashqar, 17 years old, with a bullet to the head, fired by the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) during the aggression on Nablus at dawn. The martyrdom of Al-Ashqar brought the death toll to 6 in 48 hours, and to 42 martyrs, including 9 children and an elderly woman, since the beginning of this year.

The occupation forces also stormed the town of Burqin, west of Jenin, and arrested a number of Palestinian youth. Video footage documented the process of Palestinian resistance fighters confronting the occupation forces' storming of the town with homemade explosives. The occupation forces also stormed the Qalandia refugee camp, north of occupied Al-Quds.

Furthermore, Palestinian media reported that an Israeli vehicle was neutralized during the armed confrontations in Nablus.

IOF storm minors section of "Damon" prison, assault them

Earlier, on Monday evening, Israeli occupation forces stormed the "Damon" prison and brutally beat child prisoners.

The Commission for Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs declared, in a statement, that the “Damon” prison administration stormed the children’s section, assaulted them, and imposed harsh penalties against them.

The Commission indicated that the 'penalties' included preventing phone calls, seizing electrical appliances, banning visits for a month, and closing the canteen for a week.

The statement further warned that the prison administration’s storming of the children prisoners’ section, their assault, and the imposition of collective punishments against them, is an insistence on the occupation’s terrorist and savage behavior, amounting to a measure that will reestablish the state of tension and escalation inside prisons and threaten to explode the situation again.

It also confirmed that the raids and searches carried out by the prison administration, which have become part of the daily life of the prisoners, will not succeed in imposing the will of the occupation on the prisoners and letting its schemes pass.

The prisoners’ determination and steadfastness shall forever stand stronger than the tyranny of the occupation and its brutality, the Commission stressed.
