They also attacked and abducted the mayor of ath-Thaheriyya, Bahjat Jabarin, and took him to a nearby military base.
An eyewitness said Nazi JEWISH colonizers also attacked the procession in front of Nazi soldiers, adding that one colonizer fired live rounds.
It is worth mentioning that the Protections and Steadfastness Committees, in cooperation with various institutions and nonviolent activists against Nazi JEWISH colonization, hold weekly processions in areas the Nazi regime intends to annex from the Palestinians, especially near existing illegal Nazi JEWISH colonies and colonialist outposts.
Nazi JEWISH colonies in the Nazi occupied West Bank, including those in and around Nazi occupied East Jerusalem, are illegal under International Law, the Fourth Geneva Convention, and various United Nations and Security Council resolutions. They also constitute war crimes under International Law.
Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention states: “The Occupying Power shall not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies.” It also prohibits the “individual or mass forcible transfers, as well as deportations of protected persons from occupied territory.”
