Israeli Army Invades Silwan and Arrests Children


"Tuesday night Israeli troops launched large-scale raids of homes in several neighbourhoods and battled with children in the town of Silwan near the Al Aqsa Mosque. The invasion was accompained by breaking doors and windows of many houses and intimitading women and children, according to eyewitnesses.

The children resisted Israeli soldiers, hurling stones and glasses, burning tires and placing obstacles in front of military patrols. Israeli troops retaliated with sound bombs, rubber-coated steel bullets and tear gas. One of the injured was identified as Silman Syam, 10.

In Beir Ayoub, near Silwan, several undercover soldiers disguised themselves as Palestinians in order to arrest four children. The children were identified as Ihab al-shwaky,11; Mohammad Mansour,13; Baha' al-Rajbe,12; and Jehad al-Shwake,12 . The children were taken to the al-Maskobeya detention and interrogation center in West Jerusalem."
