The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) detained a 4-year-old child at a military checkpoint for allegedly having “a sharp tool” in his possession.
The PIC field reporter affirmed that the child Mohamed Abu Asnina was detained at Abu al-Rish checkpoint near the Ibrahimi Mosque in al-Khalil for holding a household item he borrowed for his mother from their neighbors.
The child was released an hour later after his older brothers intervened at the scene.
Meanwhile the IOF blocked the access of a number of Palestinian teachers to their school.
Noura Nassar Qurtoba school’s director told PIC reporter that the teachers all women were heading to the Qurtoba school in the Old City when Israeli soldiers stationed at a military checkpoint on Al-Shuhada Street prevented them from passing through.
