Jaclynn Ashley reports for Al Jazeera on the Barghouti marriage: “Fadwa and Marwan grew up together in the village of Kobar, outside of Ramallah city. Fadwa’s family was one of few in the village where their daughter continued her education in the city past the sixth grade, and she was the first woman in her village to obtain a driver’s license. At the age of 18, she became the youngest founding member of the Women’s Union for Social Work, which she now heads. The group works to increase the participation of women in the Palestinian resistance movement. Marwan, meanwhile, began a five-year sentence in Israeli prison when he was 18. Fadwa was just 14 at the time. A few years into his jail term, he sent a message to Fadwa through a recently released prisoner: ‘He told me that Marwan loves me and that he wants me to wait for him.’ When Marwan was finally released, his marriage proposal was anything but typical.

Israeli colonists flooded dozens of Palestinian olive trees with sewage water Tuesday, near Nablus, according to the Israeli Rabbis for Human Rights organization, as the olive harvest begins. Human rights groups documented ten cases of settler violence and theft directed at Palestinian groves.

Belgium, France, Spain, Sweden, Luxembourg, Italy, Ireland, and Denmark are demanding that Israel pay over €30,000 ($35,400) in compensation for destroyed solar panels and classrooms the countries had installed in Bedouin communities in the West Bank.

In Hebron, Palestinians are prevented from entering the Ibrahimi Mosque for two days over the Jewish holiday of Sukkot.

No one is forced to observe Jewish holidays like the Palestinians. The Times of Israel reports that Israel plans to shut down the entire West Bank and Gaza Strip for 11 full days during the Sukkot holiday.

The New Arab reports, “Reem, considered the first full-time music therapist working in Gaza, is busy with therapy programs and training courses – some she runs herself, others run by non-governmental organisations – across the densely packed coastal territory under siege by Israel.”

Al Jazeera reports on the increase in Palestinian injuries in one West Bank refugee camp: Most of the gunshot wounds were directed at the lower limbs of the youth in the camps, now commonly referred to as “kneecapping.” Residents of the Dheisheh camp say that an Israeli army commander, who the youth in Dheisheh refer to as “Captain Nidal”, has been threatening to intentionally disable Palestinians in the camp

Amira Hass reports that Israel has quietly ended one-year visas to foreign spouses married to Palestinians, “In recent months, Eva and other citizens of foreign countries who are married to Palestinian residents of the West Bank have noticed that Israel has been putting more limits on their ability to stay put. Another woman, Dora, says that after years of being issued visas (officially called “visitor permits”) that were valid for a year, suddenly, with no explanation, she received a visa that was only good for a few weeks. Other women, who not long ago received visas valid for six or seven months, have recently been given visas valid for just over two weeks and which must be renewed over and over.”

Haaretz reports for a first time, Israel could charge an entire family for murder after a Palestinian who killed three Israelis posted his intent on Facebook. Reportedly, the family saw the post and were debating how to intervene when the slaining happened: “The military prosecution is expected to indict five relatives of Omar al-Abed, who stabbed to death three Israeli civilians in the settlement of Halamish last month. The five would be charged with failing to prevent a crime. According to sources in the prosecution, the family members were aware of Abed’s plans to carry out an attack but did not try to stop him. Expected to be charged are Abed’s father, Abed al-Jalil, his mother, Ibtisam al-Jalil, two of his brothers and another relative. As far as is known, the main piece of evidence against the family is a Facebook post Abed wrote a few hours before the attack. ‘I am writing my will and these are my last words. I am young, I have not yet reached the age of 20, I have many dreams and aspirations,’ he wrote.”

The Times of Israel reports, “Five homes in the Shaarei Tikva settlement in the northern West Bank were reportedly built on land allocated to the Palestinians under the Oslo agreements.”
