Palestinian blindfolded, beaten by Israeli forces in Hebron

According to international human rights workers living in the area, a Palestinian man was detained, blindfolded and beaten by Israeli forces Monday night in the Tel Rumeida neighborhood of Hebron. The man was on his own property, just two meters from his door, when the Israeli soldiers approached and shouted at the man that he was in a closed military zone.

He was pushed down by the soldiers, handcuffed and beaten. He was then blindfolded and taken to a nearby military base, where he was again beaten by the soldiers. The man was afraid to give his name, for fear of reprisals.

This is not the first time he has been targeted by the soldiers. More...
