Night raids in Bil'in! Again and again and again! On Tuesday, April 13th, 2010, the village of Bil'in was raided by the Israeli army once again. At approximately 1 am, Israeli armed forces entered the village in order to arrest 16 year old Khalil Ibrahim Yaseen, who was not at his place at the time. The Israeli armed forces presented his family with a document ordering Khalil to go to the Shabak's office for questioning. They also stated that Khalil would be arrested if he does not show up to the Shabak's office. Only two months ago, Khalil was released from prison after serving one month for his efforts in the nonviolent protests. This is the most recent night raid in Bil'in. It is an attempt to stop the village's peaceful protest against the occupation and the annexation of its lands. The Israeli forces have arrested children and leaders of the village's popular committee in the recent weeks as well.
