AhlulBayt News Agency - Four Palestinian Jerusalemites, including a woman, were killed by the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) and 148 others were detained during the month of March, a human rights report documented.
A report by the Wadi Hilweh Information Center said the Israeli occupation authorities (IOA) have also been withholding the bodies of 12 slain Palestinians from Occupied Jerusalem.
25 Jerusalemite Palestinians were also banned from al-Aqsa during the same period and three more others were banned from Occupied Jerusalem for a period of four to six months. 13 Jerusalemites were also banned from 1948 Occupied Palestine.
According to the report, 960 Israeli settlers stormed the holy al-Aqsa Mosque via the Maghareba Gate at the same time as the IOA banned 50 Muslim men and women from entering the Mosque all week long.
20 Palestinian structures were demolished by the IOF in Occupied Jerusalem, it added.
The report spoke out against Israeli polices of collective punishment, including persecution of families of prisoners’ and anti-occupation activists. The IOA turned down Fouad Abu Rajab’s appeals to reunite with his eight children, aged between two and 19 years old.
The national insurance company also decided to deprive three prisoners from Sur Baher village from social insurance.
The three detainees are identified as 18-year-old Muhammad Abu Kaf, 19-year-old Waleed al-Atrash, and 20-year-old Abd Dweiyat, all accused of killing an Israeli settler by hurling stones at his vehicle in mid September, the report further documented.
