Video: Israeli forces brutalize Palestinian boy before arresting him in occupied al-Quds

A new video released on social media shows Israeli security forces violently attacking a 10-year-old Palestinian boy before arresting him in the town of Beit Hanina in occupied al-Quds, amid intensified Israeli violence against Palestinians in the occupied territories.

The video, released on Sunday and shared by rights activists on social media, shows how the Palestinian boy is being brutally treated by the Israeli forces on Saturday with one Israeli security force laying on top of the screaming child.

The new development came as Israeli forces once again banned Palestinian worshipers from entering the al-Aqsa Mosque after Tarawih prayers on Saturday night.

Palestinian worshipers were not allowed in the holy site until the next morning so as to facilitate the Israeli settlers’ morning break-ins at the mosque.

Since the start of the holy month of Ramadan, the regime in Tel Aviv has escalated its crackdown on Palestinians by arresting a number of Palestinians in occupied East al-Quds, desecrating al-Aqsa mosque, issuing new restrictions on the Palestinian people’s entry into the mosque, and ordering the demolition of Palestinian homes and agricultural facilities.

On Saturday, the Palestinian Health Ministry reported that one Palestinian was martyred and 13 were wounded during clashes between local residents in Jenin and the armed forces of the occupying regime.

The ministry also reported on Sunday that Israeli forces opened fire on a woman — identified as Ghada Ibrahim Sabatien—while she was crossing a military checkpoint near the village of Husan, west of Bethlehem. The 40-year-old woman passed away at the hospital due to massive blood loss.

Israeli forces kill one Palestinian, injure 13 in Jenin refugee camp

The Israeli regime’s military forces have shot dead a young Palestinian in the West Bank refugee camp of Jenin who they blame for the recent killing of Israeli soldiers in Tel Aviv, Palestinian authorities said.

Slamming the latest Israeli aggression in Jenin, spokesman for the Gaza-based resistance group Hamas, Abdul-Latif al-Qanoun, asserted that the regime’s current aggression won’t restore the lost credibility of the occupier’s military forces and leadership.

Last May, similar Israeli atrocities against Palestinians led to a war between the Israeli military and the Gaza-based resistance groups, who rose up in protest in solidarity with their fellow countrymen in the Israeli-occupied West Bank

During the war, the fourth wholesale military campaign by the occupying regime against the densely-populated Palestinian enclave, the regime killed at least 260 Palestinians, including 66 children.

Israeli forces arrested 200 Palestinians from Jenin in first quarter of 2022

Meanwhile, the Palestinian Prisoners Society (PPS) says the Israeli regime’s forces have arrested 200 Palestinians from the Jenin governorate in the first quarter of 2022.

Half of them were arrested in March alone, the PPS added in a press statement released on Saturday.

According to the statement, “The IOF intensified its arrest campaigns in a number of towns and Jenin refugee camp and arrested Palestinians in the age category 18 to 35.”

It added that most of the detainees were assaulted upon their arrest.

Palestinian prisoners declare general mobilization in protest at Israel's repressive measures

Palestinian political prisoners in Israeli detention declare a state of general mobilization in protest against the ongoing Israeli regime’s repressive measures.

There are thousands of Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli prisons and detention centers. Prison authorities keep Palestinian inmates under deplorable conditions lacking proper hygienic standards. The prisoners have also been subjected to systematic torture, harassment, and repression, according to Palestinian officials.

Hundreds of the inmates, including women and minors, have been incarcerated under the practice of administrative detention. Rights groups describe Israel’s use of the detention system as a “bankrupt tactic” and have long called on Israel to end its use.

Under the administrative detention, Israel keeps Palestinians without charge for up to six months, a period that can be extended an infinite number of times. The detention takes place on orders from a military commander and on the basis of what the Israeli regime describes as “secret” evidence. Some prisoners have been held in administrative detention for up to 11 years.

Human rights organizations say Israel violates all the rights and freedoms granted to prisoners under the Fourth Geneva Convention.

In mid-March, the Supreme National Emergency Committee for Palestinian Prisoners announced a mass hunger strike starting on March 25 in protest against the regime’s massive rights violations, mistreatment, and repressive measures.
