Israeli troops killed a youth at a hospital and read out Jewish prayers at a mosque in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin during raids that Palestinian authorities said on Thursday killed 12 and that Israel said helped capture dozens of militants.


Alaa Al Sadi, who lives in the Jenin camp, said soldiers who came to his home searching for guns smashed his television before taking him blindfolded into detention at an army compound outside the city for about 14 hours, along with hundreds of other people.

The soldiers found no guns but demolished his family home and accused him of being a member of Hamas, telling him he should leave the West Bank and move to Lebanon or Syria, Al Sadi, 44, said in an interview. He denied any links to the Gaza-based Islamist militant group.

The Israeli military did not respond to a request for comment about Alaa Al Sadi's account.

The majority of the people taken into detention earlier in the raid have since been released, the Palestinian Prisoner's Club, an advocacy group, said in a statement. The Israeli army said 60 wanted suspects were transferred to security forces for further questioning.

How the hell is desecrating a mosque going to help with anything? Stopping the resistance? Just desecrate a mosque and they will all just magically give up? Holy shit every time when you think it possibly can’t get any worse the IOF finds a way to top its own actions…

The solders involved in desecrating the mosque were detained. Not sure what will happen to them. The right in Israel tend not to care, or at most say these things happen and we're at war etc. The left are not having it, and see it as part of the extreme right religious movement that is our terrible government.

The same fate of what happened to that politician calling to drop atomic bomb over Gaza. N O T H I N G.

At this stage, it is pretty obvious what Israel's goal is here. They are not looking to find peace. They are looking to extend the conflict and continue provoking them and make the life of Palestinians even more miserable.

It is about time for the UK and the US to see through this parade the truth.
