his forcible transfer to the Gaza Strip for ten years. Administrative detainee Hana Shalabi from Jenin, who was on hunger strike for 43 days in protest of her continued detention without charge or trial, was forcibly transferred on 1 April 2012 to the Gaza Strip as a condition of her release. By the end of 2013, occupation forces had forcibly transferred the following four Palestinians to the Gaza Strip: Hana Shalabi, Ayman Al- Sharawneh, Iyad Abu Fannoun, and Ayman Abu Daoud, following long periods on hunger strike. Additionally, the Israeli Knesset has sought approval for a bill that would allow the forcible transfer of family members of Palestinians who allegedly committed attacks against Israeli police forces, soldiers, colonizers, or civilians to the Gaza Strip, in contravention of the prohibition against the forcible transfer of protected individuals as stipulated in Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention. This policy would also constitute a measure of collective punishment, which is prohibited under IHRL and IHL. “I'm a housewife, I was born in Bethlehem in 1967 and I live in Aida Refugee Camp. I'm also a mother to six boys and one girl. I have the Gaza ID, I used to have a West Bank ID but then when I got married I had to change to the Gaza ID in order to register my children in it, as my husband is from Gaza. At the time there was no Intifada and the situation was calm and it was easy to come and visit my family here in Bethlehem. I used to apply for a visit permit and they always gave it to me. After the First Intifada, our situation deteriorated in Gaza so me and my husband decided to move to the West Bank, we thought we'll find better opportunities here especially for my husband in terms of finding a job. So we came to the West Bank in 1996 and we've been here since that time. One of my sons was imprisoned in 2005 and then released after one year and few months. We had to pay 3000 shekels [around USD800] fine to release him. At the time I didn't have the money so I had to borrow money from few people to be able to pay for my son’s release. When the day came for him to get released we got ready to welcome him. I remember it was Ramadan and I cooked for him and his siblings and many people came to our house to see him. You know, when a prisoner is released all the people come to see him. And so we waited for him. It became 10 pm and he still hadn’t arrived. We broke our fast and ate, and all the neighbors were still around waiting for him. After 10 pm a phone call from my brother–in-law from Gaza surprised us. He told my husband that they had taken our son to Gaza and that he was with them. I don't know what happened, all I know is that they told him your ID says Gaza which means we will take you to Gaza. He told them that he lives in Bethlehem and all of his family is in Bethlehem but they didn't listen. We had been to the courts, we visited him in jail and the lawyers did too, but the Israelis never said anything about Gaza. I have another son who was imprisoned in 2004 and he is still in prison. They are supposed to release him in four years but we still don't know where will he be released; Bethlehem or Gaza. 64
