Israeli Soldiers Were Filmed Detaining Two Palestinian Children In The West Bank, Accusing Them Of Being "Spies"
"I don't care," the soldiers said when being asked to release the young Palestinian boys.
Israeli soldiers have been filmed detaining two young Palestinian children in Hebron in the occupied West Bank, which Israel illegally occupies, accusing the children of “being spies.”
In a viral video shared on social media on Monday, Sept. 29, the soldiers were seen clutching the crying boys’ hands and demanding to know where their father was.
According to reports on social media, the soldiers then detained the children for a while before multiple soldiers went to the family's house and preventing people from following them.
Social media posts said that the soldiers also stopped passersby from documenting the incident.
Another video showed a man confronting the soldiers and asking them to release the boys, but the soldiers are heard replying, “I don’t care.”
Approximately 360 Palestinian children, mainly from the West Bank, are currently detained in Israeli prisons, according to Defense for Children International.
Among them, around 147 children, or about 41%, are held without charge or trial, marking a record high since monitoring began in 2008.
