Local Editor

"Israel" Occupation Force [IOF] soldiers were photographed beating a Palestinian man on Tuesday in al-Khalil [Hebron]. The military alleged that the man was resisting arrest, but that the incident is being investigated.

Photographs taken at the scene showed that at least five "Israeli" infantry soldiers, from the Nahal Brigade, were surrounding the Palestinian during his arrest.

One of the soldiers is seen kicking him, while another holding him by the throat. Another photo shows a soldier pinning the Palestinian to the ground with his knee. The Palestinian is seen barefoot in a street in al-Khalil.

Photos of the arrest were soon published on social media networks.

Accordingly, the "Israeli" military said the incident will be investigated.

The military alleged that while its troops were carrying out security checks in the city due to recent attacks in the area, the Palestinian man featured in the photos refused to be frisked.

The "Israeli" regime's army had been conducting raids in al-Khali following two attempted stabbings in the city on Monday.

On Wednesday, a 13-year-old Palestinian girl was shot at a checkpoint near the occupied West Bank illegal settlement of Alfei Menashe.

On Tuesday, a Palestinian man was martyred by "Israeli" soldiers outside the Palestinian town of Bani Naim, east of al-Khalil.
