More than half of his life, the forty-year-old Mutassim al-Rakh, spent working in Israel in various professions, obtaining a permit whenever its validity expires without obstacles, as he was not arrested throughout his life, but everything changed, and last Monday he turned into a prisoner, after the occupation forces arrested him at a military checkpoint near Ramallah, and immediately transferred him to the investigation center in Huwwara prison, and within less than 24 hours, Maqeed became a hostage of administrative detention.

With sadness and pain, his wife, Umm Ahmed, from the Jenin camp, told Al-Quds.com, "My husband did not interfere in politics throughout his life and did not belong to any party, but he was arrested as part of the pressure, punishment and revenge on our family, since two of my brothers are wanted."

With amazement and astonishment, she wonders about how and why her husband was targeted, even though he is not in Jenin except during the weekend, Friday and Saturday. As she explains, he works and lives in his workplace in a factory in Haifa, and for more than a year he has not met her brothers, whose news is cut off for him.

The occupation intelligence continues to target the families of those it calls wanted, and exerts pressure and penalties against their families and anyone who has a relationship with them to isolate them and strike their popular incubator. However, the picture is different in the Jenin camp, as a broad and strong popular base has developed around the resistance, especially since the last battle on the third of July, which the people considered an epic and another episode in confrontation and victory over the occupation, which sent more than a thousand soldiers from its selected units that were unable to achieve their goals.

As for the Mu'tasim family, the Israeli security service has included the names of two of his wife's brothers in the wanted lists in the camp, which are expanding and increasing daily with the repetition of operations and the escalation of the tone of threats to the settler government.

Umm Ahmed said in her interview with Al-Quds.com, "We do not know how our children become wanted and targeted. My first brother, Nour, spent years in their prisons, was freed, married, built a family and became a father. Then they arrested him and wounded him, and he miraculously escaped death. After returning to his family, he became wanted." She adds, "He spent more time in prison than he lived while he was free, and his life is threatened, and we do not know the reason."

And she continues: "My second brother, the youngest, was arrested and served his sentence for 4 years, and we were almost happy with his freedom, until they stormed our house in search of him, and when they did not find him, they threatened us to liquidate him if he did not turn himself in immediately."

And she continues, "We live on our nerves amidst a state of tension and anger. Within hours of my husband's arrest, they transferred him to administrative detention. What crime and punishment is worse than that? He is the only breadwinner for our family of 6 persons."

As for the worker, Majed Fathi Ziyad, from the Jenin camp, he found himself arrested during his return from his work at the Al-Jalama checkpoint, and spent a month under interrogation, and said: “Every day at the checkpoint as normal, and suddenly, after the battle of the camp, they arrested me and interrogated me for 20 days on behalf of one of my friends, accusing me of providing a hiding place to him ” being a resistant.
He added, "They threatened to revoke my permit, arrest me, and destroy my house if I contacted him, even a small contact. They want to break the strength of the youth of the camp, who taught them a lesson they will never forget."
