Israeli soldiers kidnapped more than 320 Palestinians in several parts of the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, and occupied East Jerusalem during the month of January, a Palestinian researcher stated.
Researcher Riyadh Al-Ashqar, specialized in detainees’ affairs, stated in his report that four elected legislators, 53 children, eight women, and one former detainee, were among the kidnapped in January.
He added that Israel rearrested the four elected legislators, including the head of the Legislative Council, Dr. Aziz Dweik, and imprisoned them under Administrative Detention orders.
The Israeli army broke into the Red Cross office in Sheikh Jarrah, in occupied East Jerusalem, and kidnapped Legislator, Mohammad Totah, and former Minister, Khaled Abu Arafa. They have been camped at the Red Cross for more than 18 months to protest Israeli orders exiling them from the city.
Twenty-seven legislators, and three ministers, are currently imprisoned by Israel.
Furthermore, Al-Ashqar stated that Israel renewed administrative detention orders against more than 50 Palestinian detainees in January.
