NAZARETH, (PIC)– The Israeli occupation violence at military checkpoints erected throughout the West Bank against Palestinians is not limited to residents of the West Bank, but includes “Israeli-Palestinians”.
Sources from 1948-occupied Palestine confirmed that an Arab girl, whose lost both of her arms at the age of 12 years, was assaulted by Israeli forces while passing through a military checkpoint at Jenin northern West Bank.
Arab MK Afu Ighbariya said in a letter to the Israeli Ministry of Public Security that an Arab girl, from Nazareth, has been subjected to provocation while passing through an Israeli military checkpoint after visiting her relatives in Jenin.
She was subjected to humiliating search where Israeli soldiers forced her to take off her prosthetic arms, claiming that it is a part of the search. She was left without her prosthetic arms for two hours. When she complained about this barbaric treatment she was told by a female officer to go and search in the rules of the Israeli Ministry of Public Affairs and find out if there are any rules that do not allow taking off prosthetic limbs during a body search.
MK Afu quoted the girl, Huda al-Zoghbias, as saying that five Israeli soldiers have searched her violently with complete disregard to her health condition and her physical disability.
He stressed in his letter that Israeli soldiers used rude and provocative policy against disabled Arab citizens.
