’Israeli’ Officers to Arrested Palestinian: Drink Wine or Be Killed

Local Editor

"Israeli" intelligence officers forced a Palestinian man from Beit Ummar to drink wine at gunpoint on Tuesday evening, a local committee spokesman said.

In details, an "Israeli" military patrol stopped Muhammad Khalil Abu Dayyah, 24, from the Safa neighborhood near Beit Ummar and forced him into a military tower at the entrance to Beit Ummar, said Muhammad Ayyad Awad, spokesman of Beit Ummar's committee against "Israel's" separation wall and settlements.

According to Awad, Abu Dayyah was being asked to give names of young men who participate in clashes against "Israeli" forces in the Khalil-district town.

When Abu Dayyah refused to cooperate with the soldiers, they brought an intelligence officer who took out a list of names of young locals and asked him to identify them.

Abu Dayyah refused to give any information, and the intelligence officer pointed a rifle at the back of his head and ordered him to drink a bottle of wine.

Awad said that after Abu Dayyah drank the bottle, he passed out for an hour. He was awoken by "Israeli" soldiers who then threw him out of the military installation, he added.

Locals who witnessed Abu Dayyah being taken away by "Israeli" forces took him home after the incident, confirming that he appeared under the influence and smelling of alcohol.

The consumption of alcohol is prohibited in Islam.

It is worth mentioning that "Israeli" forces routinely arrest Palestinians and submit them to humiliation and abuse.
