28 Nov 2015 - 10:47


Tehran, November 26, The Iran Project– Israeli parliament has approved a new bill on Wednesday, that allows the authorities to jail the Palestinian children under the age of 14.

According to the Knesset press release, the Israeli officials are authorized to sentence the Palestinian minors facing the so called "terrorism charge" in prison.

Meanwhile, some 24 Palestinians have been arrested across West Bank overnight Tuesday and Wednesday. The locals in a refugee camp have said that the forces also raided the homes and detained Palestinian youths. Homes belonging to two young Palestinians earlier killed by Israeli forces also were raided by Israeli troops.

Elsewhere in al-Khalil a 19-year-old Palestinian was shot, injured and detained by Israeli forces for the alleged attack against the Israelis.

Two young Palestinians who have been shot and critically injured by Israeli fire, have succumbed to their wounds in hospitals on Wednesday. A 19-year-old Palestinian student who was shot earlier has died of injuries in East al-Quds. Another 16-year-old Palestinian who was injured two weeks ago has succumbed to his wounds in Ramallah hospital. The resources have said that since last Sunday over six Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces.

Israeli bulldozers also created mounds in the area of Palestinian agricultural lands to restrict the access of farmers to the lands in Gaza on Wednesday. The witnesses have told that the Israeli measure will directly prevent the Palestinian farmers to reach their lands in besieged Gaza.

Israeli forces stormed a sport club in East al-Quds, ransacking the club on Wednesday morning. According to the club's officials, during the raid Israeli troops confiscated the footage recorded by the surveillance camera. They also raided the club in early November, detaining a man who they alleged had thrown stones at the Israeli forces.

A report by the Palestinian resources shows that due to the hard pressure by Israeli municipality, the village of al-Issawiya in East-al Qudshas has fallen in to an "economic recession". According to some locals, the shop owners have shut their stores due to the regular and arbitrary fines by Israeli municipality officials. Israelis, for instance, have fined a Palestinian salesperson for leaving empty boxes in front of the store.
