An injured Palestinian boy was kidnapped at daybreak Thursday after the Israeli occupation forces broke into the Duheisheh refugee camp south of Bethlehem province.
Local resident Emad Shaheen said the occupation forces wreaked havoc on the family home of his injured nephew Hussein Shaheen 16 after they blew up the entrance gates.
The break-in culminated in the abduction of Hussein who has reportedly been enduring excruciating pains as a result of an injury inflicted by Israeli bullet fire in December after he was shot in his feet with three bullets. Hussein had his artery severed and underwent a surgery to save his life.
Israeli soldiers also attacked Hussein’s family members using sniffer dogs.
Shaheen said he told the Israeli occupation forces about the minor’s critical health condition but they paid no heed.
At the same time a number of Palestinian protesters sustained live bullet wounds and others choked on teargas fired by the Israeli military all the way through the assault.
Palestinian anti-occupation youth responded to the attack by hurling stones and empty bottles at the heavily-armed occupation patrols.
