US seeking answers after Chicago brothers, Louisiana mom detained in Gaza, West Bank
2024-02-11
[IsraelTimes] Relatives of Borak and Hashem Alagha allege family was tied up during overnight raid on home in al-Mawasi refugee camp; woman held over social media posts backing Hamas
...a regional Iranian catspaw,...

The White House said Thursday it was seeking more information from Israeli authorities about two young adult American brothers detained in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
and the arrest of an American woman in the West Bank.

Borak Alagha, 18, and Hashem Alagha, 20, two brothers born in the reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown
...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel...
area, were detained along with their Canadian father in Gaza, relatives said Thursday.

On Monday, Samaher Esmail, 46, was taken from her home in the West Bank and detained. The Israeli military said she had been arrested for "incitement on social media" and held for questioning.

"Just processing this information," White House spokesperson John Kirby said at a presser Thursday. "We want to know more about the reasons here."

He said the US was taking the matter seriously.

"We’ll be talking to our Israeli counterparts trying to get more information here, more context about what happened," he said.

The Alaghas are among fewer than 50 US citizens known to still be trying to leave sealed-off Gaza, as the Israel-Hamas war enters its fifth month. Numerous other US green-card holders and close relatives of the citizens and permanent residents also are still struggling and unable to leave, despite US requests, according to their American families and advocates.

Cousin Yasmeen Elagha, a law student at Northwestern University, said Israeli forces entered the family home in the community of al-Muwasi, near the southern city of Khan Younis, around 5 a.m. Gaza time on Thursday.

The soldiers tied up and blindfolded the women and kiddies in the family, and placed them outside the home, the cousin said.
