Undercover forces of the Israeli army violently attacked a 17-year-old youth in Abu Dis town, in East Jerusalem, and broke his leg. The youth was transferred to an Israeli hospital before he was moved to the Etzion detention center.

Local sources reported that Mohammad Halabiyya was walking in Abu Dis when he was attacked by a number of undercover Israeli soldiers.

He tried to run away, still not knowing the attackers are undercover soldiers, the soldiers opened fire at him and he fell down.

The undercover forces then started beating and kicking him all over his body, and transferred him later on to Hadassah Ein Karem Israeli hospital in Jerusalem.

After cast was placed on his leg, without conducting X-ray, the youth was moved to the Ezion detention camp.

The detainees at Etzion demanded that he receives the needed medical treatment and the administration moved him to an Israeli hospital before transferring him to Ofer prison.
