20,000 Gazans in West Bank threatened with deportation

NAZARETH, (PIC)-- More than 20,000 Palestinians from the Gaza Strip are living in a state of anxiety fearing the Israeli occupation authority might deport them any time to the Gaza Strip.

A press report published on Sunday by the English-language Israeli daily Jerusalem Post said that those citizens' life turned to hell after the Israeli army announced that it would deport anyone residing "illegally" in the West Bank.

Sari Bashi, the executive director of the Israeli human rights group Gisha, said that tens of thousands of people are living in constant danger, which prevents them from accessing health care, education, and jobs out of fear of crossing through military roadblocks.

The paper quoted army officials as saying that Gazans could return to the Strip along with their wives from the West Bank, meaning deserting their homes in which they lived for decades.

In the same context, the IOA deported a Palestinian man from Beersheba to Gaza via the Erez (Beit Hanun) crossing, Wa'ed society for prisoners said in a statement.

Meanwhile, the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) arrested Palestinian businessman Ali Al-Dadu, 55, on Sunday after detaining both his son and daughter a few days earlier.

Dadu was summoned to the IOF intelligence west of Tulkarem where he was detained, his family said in a statement, adding that Dadu was suffering colon cancer and the IOF soldiers refused to allow his lawyer to take medicine to him.

The IOF troops on Monday detained two Palestinian young men at Hawara roadblock south of Nablus.
