Y.A

Three Palestinian children were held after Israeli regime forces locked down several roads and fired tear gas at bystanders ,Wednesday, in Hebron (al- Khalil).

The children were charged of throwing stones and as a result several roads that local Palestinians use were closed down when soldiers brutally dealt with the situation.

Bystanders were gassed and assaulted physically near the entrance to the old city (Pap albaldya).

The held children were Ahmad Ishak Akra(14 yrs old), Yousef Jamal Mousa Akra (14 also) and Khalid Iyad A kra (13 yrs old). If found guilty of throwing stones they will face most probably a year in an Israeli prison.

Unlike the settlers in Hebron, Palestinian children are subjected to military law and often are tortured until they sign confessions (often written in Hebrew).
