Footage has emerged of Israeli soldiers detaining a group of boys in the West Bank city of Hebron on October 13 for throwing stones. The video released by a human rights NGO shows the boys held in a cage and guarded by heavily armed security forces.
The Jerusalem-based NGO B’tselem wrote that soldiers fired rubber bullets and arrested 18 youths, mostly minors, in the Bab a-Zawiya neighbourhood for allegedly hurling stones and took them to a military camp where they were interrogated before being released around 10pm.
