Israeli forces take pictures of naked Palestinian minors
Aljazeera reports that according to the Palestinian prisoners club, the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) arrested two Palestinian teenagers a week ago and proceeded to photograph them with cameraphones while stark naked.
"The prisoners club quoted one of those arrested, 17-year-old Mohammed Ghaith, a resident of Al-Khalil, held at the Israeli jail of Atsion since mid July. Gaith recounted how he and his cousin were arrested by IOF soldiers who proceeded to batter them with their riffle butts, causing them several injuries and bruises all over their bodies.
The two Palestinian teenage boys were then forced to strip in full view of Israeli settlers present at the scene as pictures of them were taken by mobile phones.
It highlighted that the Israeli forces shouted profanities at the pair and let loose wild dogs to terrify them."
