Israeli settlers torture a Palestinian boy near Jerusalem

January 24, 2007

Jerusalem - Ma'an - Israeli settlers have, on Tuesday evening, abducted a Palestinian boy from the town of Hizma, north east of Jerusalem. They beat him and attacked him with knives, before he was released, unconscious.

Ma'an's correspondent quoted eyewitnesses as saying that "three Israeli settlers had abducted Raefat Samih al-Khateeb, 16, on his way home after visiting a relative of his. The incident took place on the main street between Jericho and Hizma. The abductors took the boy to a deserted area near the Israeli settlement of Ma'ale Adummim. There they beat the boy and tortured him using knives, before they brought him back at night unconscious."

The boy has been taken to Hadassah hospital in Ein Karem for treatment.
