GAZA, (PIC)--

The Israeli occupation government (IOG) has banished two Palestinian brothers from Beer Sheba to the Gaza Strip on Friday afternoon, Wa'ed society for prisoners said in a statement.

The society said that Hamed and Emad Abu Dhuwaba were taken from their Rahat home in Beer Sheba along with their father to the detention center by Israeli occupation police.

It said that the police later released their father and banished the two brothers to the Strip via the Beit Hanun (Erez) crossing.

The society said that the IOG was implementing its racist 1650 decision that expels Palestinians from 1948 occupied land and the West Bank at the pretext of "illegal presence" amidst total silence on the part of the human rights groups and international organizations.

Gaza group reports 2 more deported by Israel

Brothers born in Gaza, one married to a Palestinian citizen of Israel, were detained and deported to the Gaza Strip on Friday, officials at the Wa'ed Society in Gaza said.

The men, identified as Imad and Hamed Abu Dawaba both in their twenties, were taken from their Beersheba home by Israeli police and taken directly to the Erez crossing.

According to the society, Imad has three children, all who have Israeli citizenship through their mother. Neither brother had been granted citizenship status in Israel, and it remains unclear what their residency status was at the time of their deportation.

Palestinians worry that the deportation was carried out under Israeli military orders 1649 and 1650, which expanded the definition of "infiltrator" to any Palestinian residing in areas under Israeli control without unspecified Israeli permissions.

The expulsion brings to six the total number of Palestinians living in Israel, and one who had been detained in an Israeli prison, who have been deported to the Gaza Strip.
