ALBAWABA - The National and Islamic Palestinian Factions Follow-up Committee released a statement condemning the use of attack dogs by female soldiers to force Palestinian women to strip naked in Hebron.
The statement also condemned the "brutal attack by the occupation forces on a Palestinian woman at Bab Hatta" one of the gates of Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem.
The factions called on "the free people of the world, human rights institutions, and all international bodies to take action to protect the Palestinians from the “fascist” Israeli aggression on land and sanctities, the factions added that, “Israeli war criminals should be prosecuted for their crimes before international courts".
The factions stressed: "The field executions, the invasions, and the destruction that the occupation leaves behind in all our cities and camps will not terrorize our people and will not dissuade them from resisting the occupation until it is defeated".
The Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories (B'TSELEM) released an investigation revealing that earlier in July dozens of masked soldiers, with dogs, entered homes belonging to the extended ’Ajlouni family in the neighborhood of Khallat al-Qaba in southern Hebron.
They used their firearms to intimidate and confine 26 members of the family who were at home at the time. The troops arrested three family members, one of them was a 17-year-old kid, blindfolded them, and moved them to another house.
They then separated the surviving men from the women and children, who were held captive in the living room and searched them in a separate room.
Two masked female soldiers barred the mother from approaching her children and threatened to set the dog they had with them on her if she did not strip naked in front of them. The mother had no choice but to strip and turn around in front of the soldiers and her terrified children.
