1st thing Palestinians in #Jericho woke up to was dozens of #Israeli soldiers in armored vehicles & bulldozers raiding the Aqabat Jabr refugee camp & wreaking havoc!

14 Palestinians wounded; multiple homes & cars damaged; multiple young Palestinians kidnapped without charge...
2\ Eyewitnesses say #Israeli soldiers bombed a Palestinian civilian's house with a rocket then bulldozed parts of it around 7:00AM in #Jericho's Aqabat Jabr refugee camp.

Jericho has been under blockade for 8 days.
3\ The neighbor living next to the targeted house said he woke up to #Israeli bombs & shootings around 5:30AM, then bulldozing started at 7:00AM

They weren't allowed to flee. "If you dare look out of a window, you'd get shot"

He smuggled his kids to safety out of a back window
4\ #Israel IDF claims that a wanted Palestinian suspect was hiding in the refugee camp.

But the hours-long raid ended without finding him.
Instead, 14 Palestinians were wounded including 4 in serious condition & multiple homes & cars were damaged.

Left: Khalil Sakakini's home in 1934 Jerusalem; which he put everything he had into building.

Zionist Haganah militants took his home in 1948.

Right: #Israel gave the house to the Women's International Zionist Org.

Sakakini became a penniless refugee & died of a broken heart🧵 ImageImage
2\ In 1934, Khalil Sakakini sent a jubilant letter to his son Sari, who was studying in the US, telling him that they finally have a place to call home. He described his relief that he can retire peacefully & his wife's excitement of not having to move between rented places... Image
3\Khalil Sakakini (1878 – 1953), who was one of the most influential Palestinian intellectuals, named each room in his house after an Arab capital: Cairo, Damascus, Sanaa, Baghdad

His home had a rich library & was a meeting place for artists, poets & leaders from the MENA region Image

A🧵debunking #Israel's "Pay for Slay" myth:
The Palestinian Authority NEVER pays for killing Jewish Israelis!

The PA's "Martyr Fund" provides modest stipends to families of ANYONE killed, injured or imprisoned by Israel

Israel's gov has a SIMILAR fund called "Prisoners of Zion"
2\ #Israel's "Prisoners of Zion and Families of Martyrs" fund provides a number of benefits, including financial stipends, to individuals (& their families) who have been imprisoned or killed for "putative Zionist activity" abroad or in mandate Palestine.

Pay for slay?!?
3\ #Israeli kangaroo courts' conviction rate of Palestinians is over 99%. So prisoner ≠ terrorist.

The Palestinian martyr fund pays Palestinian prisoners in #Israel (including those imprisoned for non-political crimes) about $327. It goes to the Israeli prisons' canteen.

Left: Sherkessi Villa of Palestinian entrepreneur, Ibrahim Haqqi, in Qatamon, #Jerusalem 1930

Right: The villa today as the headquarters of the Zionist "International Christian Embassy Jerusalem."

In 1948, Zionist militias attacked Qatamon, forcing its Christian population out ImageImage
2\ The Sherkessi villa was 1 of the most luxurious Palestinian villas in #Jerusalem; with unique architecture & captivating beauty.

When Israel was founded, the owner & his 7 kids were permanently made refugees in Jordan.

They have not been able to even visit since 1948. ImageImage
3\ The owner's eldest son, Hani, keeps a portrait of his father's "Sherkessi Villa" at his home.

Returning was his mother Qudsiya's dream, a native of #Jerusalem.

He remembers every little detail in the house; his parents room; the washing area; the fountain..

He can't return! Image

LYING IN BROAD DAYLIGHT! #Israel has been falsely claiming this footage shows the mother of the #Jerusalem shooter "celebrating."

IT👏DOES 👏NOT👏!

It shows Raed Abu Saif's mom. Raed was killed by the IDF 2 years ago!

The shooter's mom has been under arrest since the incident!
2\ #Israel's police itself has posted that they arrested the shooter's parents on the same night & sealed their home for punitive demolition!

That doesn't stop Israel from lying so blatantly to dehumanize Palestinians & legitimize further oppressing them!
3\ Today, an #Israeli court extended the arrest of the Jerusalem shooter's mom until Tuesday.

So they knew she wasn't the woman in the video handing out candy & "celebrating," but lied anyway to score some cheap points!
