Al-Khuffash stated that the army conducts daily arrests, assaults and 
violations against the Palestinian people, their lands and property, and 
that the soldiers carry out frequent arrests at roadblocks and border 
terminals, as part of Israel's violations of International Law and the 
Fourth Geneva Convention.
