The Commission of Detainees' Affairs stated on Thursday that the Israeli Magistrate Court in Jerusalem extended the arrest of 17 Palestinians from Jerusalem under the pretext of the continuation of interrogation.

The Israeli occupation forces continue to conduct an aggressive campaign of arrests against the people of Jerusalem since Ramadan, due to the events of Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood and the aggression against Gaza.

450 arrest cases have been recorded, which accompanied with torture and beating, pepper gas and shooting them directly.

Many of detainees were moved to hospitals to have medical treatment after attacking them, and they are prevented from meeting their families and lawyers.

The Commission of Detainees' Affairs expressed its deep concern from the continuous Israeli aggressive attack against the Palestinian people, who were targeted through the past few weeks in a revengeful racist way in the lands occupied in 1948, Jerusalem and the West Bank.

The commission explained that the occupation forces conducted a brutal campaign of arrests against Palestinians recently, since the beginning of the Palestinian protest and refusal of the Israeli systematic policy of oppression, especially at Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood. There is an Israeli plan to expel Palestinians from their houses, which led to launching marches protesting against the fascism decisions of the occupation.

The commission revealed that the total number of arrest cases in the lands occupied in 1948 is nearly 800 cases, where indictments have been filed against 116 of them, in addition to hundreds of cases in Jerusalem and the West Bank.

The occupation authorities used brutal methods during the recent incidents, where Palestinians were attacked by beat, sticks, wastewater, sound bombs, tear gas and live ammunition.

The commission stated that the abusive attacks against our people are just an unsuccessful attempt to break our will and prevent us from defending our rights, lands and homes.

The commission called on the international society and human rights organizations to hold Israel accountable on its crimes and violations against the Palestinians.

The head of the Commission of Detainees' Affairs, MG Qadri Abu Baker called the international community and all its organizations to intervene immediately to end the revengeful racist attack carried out by the Israeli police against our people from the occupied lands of 48.

He considered that these acts represent a new phase of ethnic cleansing and forced deportation, where the Israeli political and militant levels cooperate with Israeli settlers to force the Palestinian residences to leave their houses.

Abu Baker stated that the Israeli occupation forces carried out an unprecedented campaign of arrests in the occupied lands of 48, where 1550 arrest cases have been recorded, in addition to 150 indictments which have been filed against them.

They got arrested under the pretext of their involvement in demonstrations protesting against the systematic Israeli policy of suppressing the Palestinian people, especially the incidents of Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood, where there is a plan to expel Palestinians from their houses and gain control over them.

The head of the commission said "the racism of the occupation against our people in the occupied lands on 48 is represented in the frank threat that the next day will witness an unprecedented attack on all Palestinian cities and villages, and that there will be a campaign of arrests, which means that the occupation government had planned to commit this crime.

He also said that Benjamin Netanyahu and his right-wing government bear full responsibility regarding to the unstable situation in the coming days, and there will be no silence in front of these crimes.
