Israeli army detains several Palestinians in the West Bank
IMEMC, Nov 20, 2008

This article was originally published by IMEMC and is republished with permission.

Israeli military detained late on Wednesday night more than 20 Palestinian residents in the occupied West Bank, as it dismantled a sit-in tent in the occupied east Jerusalem.

Palestinian security sources and witnesses said today that the Israeli troops attacked a number of West Bank cities , such as Nablus, Qalqilia, Tulkarem and Ramallah, detaining 21 residents.

In the occupied east Jerusalem, Israeli soldiers rampaged a sit-in tent in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood of east Jerusalem, erected by a Palestinian family.

The tent was erected by the Al-khurd family after Jewish extremist groups had displaced them from their home.

Hatem Abdelqader, a Palestinian lawmaker for Jerusalem, said that the tent was erected in a bid of protest at the their displacement some time ago.

Witnesses said that tension is currently overwhelming in the area.
