Two children, 12 and 17, detained by Israeli occupation forces near Jericho, others tear-gassed

The Israeli army today detained two children, 12 and 17 years of age, after raiding and ransacking their family homes in the Treifat Bedouin community in al-Diyouk al-Fouqa village, north of the ancient city of Jericho, east of the occupied West Bank, and tear-gassed others in the north of the West Bank.

Local sources told WAFA that soldiers broke into the Treifat community and arrested Mustafa Rashaydeh, 12, and Adnan Rashaydeh, 17, after breaking into their family homes and interrogating their parents, spreading havoc and destruction in their homes.

Meanwhile, in another incident, Israeli soldiers this morning fired tear gas at students as they were heading to their schools in Silat al-Harthiyeh village, west of the northern West Bank city of Jenin, causing several suffocation cases and panic among the children.
