Zionist occupation forces kidnap Palestinian children in Jerusalem and West Bank

Local sources have provided accounts of the incidents, shedding light on the actions taken by the ZOF.

According to witnesses, zionist police officers apprehended a teenager while he was present in the Bab al-Amud area within the Old City of Jerusalem. Simultaneously, other young men in the vicinity were detained and subjected to searches.

In another incident, a 14-year-old named Mohamed Arida was assaulted and taken into custody by Israeli soldiers. The incident unfolded when he photographed the soldiers during an ZOF raid in Arraba town, located southwest of Jenin.

Tensions escalated further as clashes erupted between local youths and Israeli forces in Arraba town. The confrontations served as a manifestation of the mounting frustration and resistance among Palestinian youth against the continued occupation.

Adding to the distress, the ZOF proceeded to close the Dotan checkpoint near the town, preventing local farmers from accessing their lands. This restriction adds to the ongoing challenges faced by Palestinian communities in their daily lives and livelihoods.

In a separate incident, the ZOF issued a stop-work order against a residential house and confiscated an excavator in Zuwaidin village, located in the Masafer Yatta area south of al-Khalil. Such actions further contribute to the disruption and hardships faced by Palestinian families and their efforts to build and maintain their homes.

These developments highlight the persistent tensions and human rights concerns within the occupied territories. The international community continues to monitor the situation closely, emphasizing the importance of upholding the rights and well-being of Palestinian children and civilians. (ILKHA)
