<blockquote class="article-intro">Head of the Census Department of
the Palestinian Ministry of Detainees, Abdul-Nasser Ferwana,
stated that the Israeli army has kidnapped 2478 Palestinians in
the period between January 1 and June 30, of this year.</blockquote>
<p class="article">He stated that, after the three Israeli settlers
went missing, on June 12, the Israeli army kidnapped nearly 600
Palestinians. <br>
<br>
Ferwana added that, among the 2478 Palestinians kidnapped this
year, the soldiers have kidnapped 412 children, and 39 women. <br>
<br>
He stated that the number of arrests since the beginning of this
year is more than a %27 increase compared to the same period of
last year.<br>
<br>
The former political prisoner further stated that the vast
majority of arrests carried out by the army have nothing to do
with the Israeli claims of security, but are only merely carried
out as punishment, and as acts of revenge, and collective
punishment against the entire Palestinian population.<br>
<br>
He added that Israel’s ongoing crimes must be exposed to the
international community, and must be ended, especially since the
army deliberately targets civilians, including children, in direct
violation of International Law. </p>
