Ghassan Daghlas, a Palestinian Authority official responsible for monitoring settlement activities in the northern West Bank, told Ma’an that several Israeli military vehicles stormed the village at midnight, and seized five young men after ransacking their homes.
He identified the detainees as 18-year-old Muhannad Seif, 17-year-old Yafi’ Suheil, 17-year-old Ashraf Hajja, 15-year-old Walid Daghlas, and 16-year-old Fadi Abu Omar.
Background: I stayed in this village for a week keeping night vigils. These boys were our friends. We played table tennis with them almost every night. Muhannad will spend at least 3 years in prison. The other 4 boys, since they are under age, will serve a lesser sentence of 1 to 1 1/2 years. What are they charged with you might ask...stone throwing & they will not be aloud to see their families. It is very frustrating. Where is the justice!?
