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
Economicsstudent
at Al Najah University in Nablus.
