HAMAS ATTEMPTS ANOTHER KIDNAPPING

Debmey

The rocket attacks launched today against Israel by Hamas were intended as cover for a kidnapping attempt.

    The barrages of Kassam rockets and mortar shells Hamas fired at Israel on Tuesday morning were meant to provide cover for and distract attention from an attempted infiltration by a terror cell, whose members intended to kidnap IDF soldiers deployed along the Gaza border, IDF sources reported Tuesday afternoon.

    The sources said that the army抯 heightened alert, as well as a quick response by ground troops and IAF helicopters that had been hovering over Gaza, foiled the attempt. According to preliminary reports, no cell managed to cross into Israel.

    The IDF has been on high alert in recent weeks, ever since receiving intelligence that Hamas was planning to abduct soldiers in a raid similar to the one near Kerem Shalom in June, 2006 in which Cpl. Gilad Schalit was captured.

    According to an IDF source, Tuesday抯 attack was 揌izbullah-style,

Well, in the eyes of the world's only superpower, hamas arrest is ok because they're classified as terrorists. Just like hamas justify their actions against Israel "in the name of creating a palestinian state".

Hamas is terrorists.

First of all Israel is not at war with Palestinian Authonomy. In fact Israel is supplying Palestinian Authonomy with electricity and water.
Secondly soldier is not kept acording to Geneva Conventions. He is no allowed to meet with red cross repesentatives.

Thus soldier was illegaly kidnaped and not captured.

Hamas is at war with the Yids..so cant be considered a kidnapping, its an arrest..anyway, dun mind if they arrest more of these babykillers from the IDF

In an intervention addressed today to the Israeli Government, the ICJ's Center for the Independence of Judges and Lawyers (ICJ/CIJL) condemned the arbitrary arrest and on-going detention of Daoud al-Dir'awi, a Palestinian lawyer. It is alleged that Mr. al-Dir'awi has been tortured while in detention.

Your Excellency,

The International Commission of Jurists (ICJ) consists of jurists who represent all the regions and legal systems in the world working to uphold the rule of law and the legal protection of human rights. The ICJ's Centre for the Independence of Judges and Lawyers (CIJL) is dedicated to promoting the independence of judges and lawyers throughout the world.

We are writing you to express our deep concern at the administrative detention of lawyer Daoud al-Dir'awi and the circumstances surrounding his detention.

According to the information we have received, Mr. al-Dir'awi, a lawyer working for the Palestinian section of Defence of Children International, was arrested on 21 February 2003 when he was taking his sick child to a hospital in Jerusalem. Mr. al-Dir'awi was allegedly stopped in his car by Israeli soldiers and, after another group of soldiers arrived, was taken to the Al Kashla Police station in Jerusalem's Old City. One day later he was transferred to the Atzion Military Detention Centre. According to a lawyer who visited the detainee on 24 February, Mr. al-Dir'awi had been badly beaten en route to the detention centre by the Israeli soldiers who were transporting him. He was also allegedly kept tied in a painful position known as shabeh and exposed to rain and snow. The visiting lawyer stated that physical evidence of the beating was still visible when he visited Mr. al-Dir'awi.

On 3 March, eight days later, Mr. al-Dir'awi was served with a six-month detention order. No formal charges were brought against him apart from the allegation that he posed a security threat to the area for his purported membership in the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), an armed group that has claimed responsibility for several attacks against Israeli civilians. On 9 March, the Ofer Military Court decided to review the detention order and confirmed Mr. al-Dir'awi's detention on 25 March. A judge of the Military Court of Appeals in Judea and Samaria denied an appeal on 2 June 2003. Mr. al-Dir'awi remains detained in the Ketziot/Ansar3 detention centre.

We are alarmed at the administrative detention of Mr. al-Dir'awi and the use of this form of detention by the Israeli Government wherein suspects are held without charge or trial. Mr. al-Dir'awi has not been formally charged with any specific crime; rather, the prosecution relied on "intelligence information" - which it did not disclose - to argue that he is a member of the PFLP. Therefore, as he was not charged, we consider Mr. al-Dir'awi's arrest to be arbitrary. In view of these facts, the Israeli Government is in violation of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), to which it is party. The ICCPR states:

Article 9.1: Everyone has the right to liberty and security of person. No one shall be subjected to arbitrary arrest or detention. No one shall be deprived of his liberty except on such grounds and in accordance with such procedure as are established by law.

Article 9.2: Anyone who is arrested shall be informed, at the time of arrest, of the reasons for his arrest and shall be promptly informed of any charges against him.

Furthermore, as administrative detention orders are indefinitely renewable for six-month periods, your Government is in breach of Article 9.3 of the ICCPR, which requires that:

Anyone arrested or detained on a criminal charge shall be brought promptly before a judge or other officer authorized by law to exercise judicial power and shall be entitled to trial within a reasonable time or to release.

As Mr. al-Dir'awi was tried by military judges, he did not benefit from an independent and impartial tribunal as required under Article 14.1 of the ICCPR which provides that:

All persons shall be equal before the courts and tribunals. In the determination of any criminal charge against him, or of his rights and obligations in a suit at law, everyone shall be entitled to a fair and public hearing by a competent, independent and impartial tribunal established by law.

Regarding this detainee's treatment during detention, we would like to draw the attention of your Government to its obligations under the Convention against Torture (CAT) which explicitly forbids torture under any circumstances. In this regard, Article 2.2 states that:

No exceptional circumstances whatsoever, whether a state of war or a threat of war, internal political in stability or any other public emergency, may be invoked as a justification of torture.

Israel is a party to the CAT.

As you may recall, the ICJ/CIJL previously addressed a letter on 11 September 2001 to your Government regarding Mr. al-Dir'awi who had been arrested and kept in administrative detention for six months. In that letter, we reminded your Government that torturing a prisoner and failing to charge him with a specific crime constitute violations of both the CAT and the ICCPR.

In conclusion, we urge your Government to immediately release Mr. al-Dir'awi or bring formal charges against him. If this detainee is charged, he should be tried by an independent and impartial tribunal and under no circumstances should he be subjected to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.

Please accept the assurances of my highest consideration.

Yours sincerely,

Ernst Lueber
Acting Secretary-General

If they are in war then they should be dealt like in war and stop whining. Babykillers are Hamas terrorists.

Hamas is not at war with Israel. Hamas does not officially represent any nation, according to the UN, since Palestine is technically not at war with Israel as of now.
Also, Hamas is classified as TERRORISTS. They are not soldiers. They are not the official armed forces of Palestine. Therefore, Hamas actions are classified as燵b]terrorism.
There is more than enough evidence to prove they are so.

Waste time only with all these kidnappings...Hamas better just behead those babykillers and be done with it...how that saying goes?..A good Yid is a dead Yid...

The only nations that categorize Hamas as a terrorist organization are the Israelis, US and her allies. Not a widely supported list.

Those who deliberately blow up buses and cafees are terrorists, for every honest person.

Two days ago another 4 hamas terrorists were killed when planted bomb on the border. This is their cease of fire.
