West Bank, Palestine: Israelis kidnap children

Tuba, South Hebron Hills, West Bank, (International Solidarity Movement):
25 June 2009

[Note: According to the Geneva Conventions, the International Court of Justice in the Hague, and numerous United Nations resolutions, all Israeli settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territories are illegal. Most settlement outposts are considered illegal under Israeli law.]

On the morning of June 25, Israeli police detained two Palestinian children, Ahmed Omar Jundyye, age 15, and Redwan Ibrahim Jundyye, age 16, near the village of Tuba. The young boys, accompanied by internationals, were grazing their flocks near their village of Tuba, located in the South Hebron Hills.

Israeli settlers from the illegal outpost, Havat Ma’on, observed the young boys for sometime before the Israeli military arrived. The Israeli military jeep drove to a home within Havat Ma’on and the soldiers spoke with the settlers. After speaking with the settlers, the soldiers approached the young boys and the internationals demanding that they provide personal identification, saying that the boys were in a forbidden area.

The Israeli police arrived at the scene and, after conferencing with the settlers and soldiers, detained the two young boys at 10:00AM and took them to the Kiryat Arba police station. The police refused to provide a reason for the detention of the young boys.

The young Palestinian boys were held in detention at Kiryat Arba Police Station for nearly five hours before being released.

Responding to the detention, one of the boys’ fathers said, “they weren’t doing anything, they graze their sheep there everyday.”


Kidnapping?

Is that what police do, in broad-daylight, for five hours?

I guess this is not kidnapping, it is the police arresting children to protect illegal settlements in an apartheid system. That's what the police is supposed to do!

You mean you believe everything the Arabs write and say without even thinking to question whether maybe, just maybe, the kid may have been trespassing or carrying bomb-making equipment like many teenagers there do?
