Beginning today and over the next 48 hours, Israeli police will invade the homes of hundreds of Palestinian citizens of Israel to arrest 500 young Palestinians to “settle accounts.” The plan entitled “Operation Law and Order” will be implemented by Israeli state forces against an identified a “bank of targets.”. According to a statement by Palestinian youth organizers, thousands of security forces of all units and brigades, including the notorious border patrol and the reserve brigades, are being deployed to execute this violent operation against Palestinian villages and cities.

The statement reads in part: “This is a declaration of war. The Israelis will invade more than 500 homes to kidnap our children and youth. This is not a mere ‘attempt to terrorize,’ or a ‘policy of fear-mongering,’ this is an unprecedented declaration of war on Palestinian citizens of Israel, and will be implemented under a humiliating silence. Our people must take action now to resist this war, the world has got to move now. Now before the criminals invade our neighborhoods and communities.”
