Elderly Palestinian arrested by Israeli forces after violent beating

Friday 11-January-2019

The Israeli occupation forces on Thursday evening arrested an elderly Palestinian man after he was aggressively beaten by Israeli settlers.

Coordinator of the local anti-settlement committee Rateb al-Jabour said Israeli soldiers arrested 66-year-old Ziyad Mukhamreh in al-Khalil’s town of Yatta in the southern occupied West Bank.

The arrest was carried out shortly after the man was attacked by a group of extremist Israelis residing in illegal settlement outposts built on Palestinian lands in Yatta.
