Afrasianet - More than two years after Israel's war of annihilation in the Gaza Strip, the death toll among Palestinians has reached 71,548 martyrs and 171,347 wounded, including large numbers of children, women and the elderly. Because the war crimes committed by the occupation were not limited to the Gaza Strip but extended and continue throughout the West Bank and occupied Jerusalem, the toll there rose to 1,107 martyrs, about 11,000 injured, and more than 21,000 arrested, according to official Palestinian statistics.
This is taking place today in the city of Hebron in the southern West Bank, where the occupation authorities are following up on an open operation involving the Israeli army, the Shin Bet security service, and the Border Police, which included storming houses in the vicinity of the Old City and the Ibrahimi Mosque, searching them, subjecting residents to random investigations, and arresting a number of them, after imposing a curfew in other southern neighborhoods.
The Israeli pretext is "security assessments" regarding the escalation of militants in the city, with a more scandalous variation that alleges that the occupation is intervening to resolve disputes between Palestinian tribes But this open Hebron operation is difficult to separate from Israeli discussions dating back to the summer of last year, during which the idea of stripping Hebron of the unified Palestinian body in the West Bank and supporting a separate "emirate" that would replace the apparatus of the Palestinian Authority was raised. Security services.
Although this folly began as a reaction to the escalation of global recognition of the Palestinian state, in the midst of the Israeli government's absolute rejection of the idea, the plans to lurk in Hebron have not stopped and continue to this day.
The hysteria in the day of the occupation shifts from Hebron to the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in Jerusalem, where the Israeli authorities demolished mobile buildings and a list belonging to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Refugees (UNRWA) and rushed to lower the UN flag and raise the Israeli flag in its place, in the midst of the keenness of senior Israeli officials to celebrate the process.
The Minister of National Security personally supervised the demolition, boasting, saying, "This is an important day for the sovereignty of Jerusalem.
Prior to the UNRWA buildings, Jenin, Tulkarm, Nour Shams and other Palestinian cities, towns and villages had witnessed the rampant incursion, vandalism and demolition, whether by the occupation's bulldozers or through the attacks of settler herds. An Israeli who remains the most heinous in history.
