‘Masked Zionist Troops Kidnap Palestinian Kid’




WEST BANK (Dispatches) – An Israeli rights group has shared a video showing a group of masked Zionist troops grabbing and detaining a child amid clashes with Palestinian protesters in the occupied West Bank.
The incident occurred when a group of Palestinian protesters from the village of Kafr Qadum were staging a weekly protest on Wednesday against the expansion of a Zionist settlement which has cut off the main rout of the area to Nablus, B’Tselem said.
The masked men grabbed the seven-year-old boy and detained him for 10 minutes after they ambushed the group of protesters from the roadside,   
"I cried and screamed because of how they looked. The soldiers detained me for about 10 minutes. They shot at the protesters with me next to them,” B’Tselem cited the boy as saying.
According to the Palestinian International Solidarity Movement and the Palestinian Ma’an News Agency, three Palestinians were injured by rubber bullets during the protest.
Residents of Kafr Qadum started their weekly protests in 2011, eight years after the 2003 expansion of the illegal Kedumim settlement.
The protest was held a few days after the UN Security Council passed a resolution, condemning the Zionist regime’s settlement construction on the Palestinian occupied lands.
