Medics added that Mohammad Abu Zant,14, suffered bruises in all over his body after having been exposed to severe beating by the Israeli soldiers.

Witnesses said that Abu Zant was arrested earlier in the day during an Israeli military incursion into the city.

Local sources confirmed that the Israeli army force took prisoner 12 other residents, including teens.

Israeli army attacks on the occupied West Bank take place almost on daily basis, as many Palestinians happen to be taken prisoners by the Israeli soldiers.
