Injured Palestinian child released on bail from Israeli jails

Tuesday 31-January-2017

The Israeli Occupation Authorities (IOA) released late Monday the injured Palestinian child Osama Zeidat 14 on a bail of 25000 Shekels.

Zeidat from Bani Naim town east of al-Khalil was moved late yesterday from Ramla prison clinic to Ramallah medical complex after his father vowed to attend his court sessions.

The newly-released child was arrested on Sep. 9 2016 after Israeli forces opened fire at him for an alleged stabbing attempt in Kiryat Arba illegal settlement.

Following his arrest Zeidat was transferred to Assaf Harofeh Hospital in very critical condition where he underwent several surgeries.

Zeidat is not the first Palestinian child to be arrested by Israeli forces for alleged anti-occupation attacks. The Jerusalemite child Ahmed Manasrah was arrested at the age of 13 under the similar pretext and sentenced to 12 years imprisonment.
