Israel arrests son of Palestinian peace activist in West Bank raid

[stephinrome]

Israel security forces arrested three West Bank Palestinians suspected of involvement with terrorist activity late Friday night, including the son of a prominent peace activist.

The three residents of Beit Ommar, north of Hebron, were detained in a joint operation led by members of both Israel Defense Forces and Shin Bet units.

One of those arrested is the son of Khaled Abu-Awwad, the General Manager of the Israeli-Palestinian Bereaved Families Forum.

Abu-Awwad has been known in recent years as a prominent peace activist, who advocates dialogue between Palestinians and Israelis despite the fact hat he had lost a brother to IDF fire.

1. I'm surprised he's still alive.

"Collaborators" aren't loved.
