The Israeli police on Sunday brutally assaulted and arrested a Palestinian youth in Jerusalem City.

Local sources said that the detainee was repeatedly beaten before he was dragged to an Israeli interrogation center in Jerusalem City.

No further information was given about the identity of the detainee or the reason behind his arrest.

Israeli violations against the Palestinian residents of Jerusalem have been on the rise lately including arrests bans from the city home demolitions and high taxes.

The Palestinians believe that they are part of a systematic policy by Israel aimed at forcing them out of Jerusalem to expand its Judaization activity in the holy city.

The Israeli police on Tuesday evening arrested a Palestinian youth after severely beating him for no apparent reason near the light railway in Bab al-Amud area in Occupied Jerusalem.

A local source reported that the Jerusalemite youth was transferred to an Israeli interrogation center in the occupied city.

Israeli arbitrary arrest campaigns are launched on a regular basis against the Palestinian people in both the West Bank and Jerusalem.
