According to eyewitness reports, recent Israeli invasions have included soldiers digging up graves in Jenin and desecrating copies of the Qu'ran, the Muslim holy book, by tearing it apart and throwing it in the toilet in several different cities.

Israeli forces invade Palestinian towns and villages in the West Bank on a daily basis, allegedly in order to abduct Palestinians that they consider 'wanted' for various reasons. Often the 'tips' to the Israeli soldiers on who they should abduct come from Palestinian informants who give names of their personal enemies, or from Palestinian detainees under torture, who give their Israeli captors any names they can think of in order to stop the pain.

In recent weeks, Palestinian eyewitnesses have reported some particularly gregarious behavior on the part of the invading Israeli troops. In Jenin on Saturday, eyewitnesses reported that a large contingent of Israeli soldiers invaded the Martyrs Cemetery and used bulldozers to dig up graves of deceased Palestinians.

And a new report from the Palestinian Center for the Defense of Captives' Rights detailed several instances of desecration of the Qu'ran by Israeli soldiers. In addition, the Center reported the deliberate humiliation of Palestinian detainees in front of their families, specifically citing the case of Ahmad Al-Alami, 19, in Hebron, in the southern West Bank.
