BETHLEHEM
(Ma'an) -- Undercover Israeli operatives detained and interrogated a
7-year-old Palestinian boy and his twelve-year-old brother in occupied
East Jerusalem Tuesday, only a day after two 15-year-olds from the same
family were taken.
The
boy and his older brother, from the Zaatari family in the occupied East
Jerusalem neighborhood of Wadi al-Joz, were detained by Israeli
operatives dressed as Palestinian locals while walking in the street
Tuesday evening, the boys' grandfather told Ma'an.The
Zaatari family has had four children detained this week, Ihab Ahmed
Zaatari, 7, and Muhammad Mahdi Zaatari 12, detained on Tuesday just one
day after Alaa Magdy Zaatari and Mehdi Barakat Zaatari, both 15, were
detained Monday.An
Israeli police spokesperson did not immediately return Ma'an's request
for information on the incident, but told Israeli media the children
were detained after throwing rocks at a bus.The 7-year-old was reportedly interrogated for nearly eight hours.
