Israeli soldiers torture deaf Palestinian child (12 years)

Jenin-Ma'an- The Palestinian Medical Relief Society (PMRS) has revealed that Israeli soldiers tortured a deaf, 12-year old Palestinian boy.

In a press release issued by PMRS’ Rehabilitation Programme, the organisation said that Israeli soldiers stationed at a temporary checkpoint between Jenin and Qalqiliya fiercely attacked and harshly tortured Mohammad Izzat Qarariyeh.

As the child is deaf, he was not able to answer the soldier’s questions, nor express himself clearly to the soldiers at the barrier. He tried to tell them that he was still a child and does not yet have an ID.

Tamam Anwar, an employee at PMRS' Rehabilitation Programme, said that the Israeli soldiers hit the boy continuously and severely, and that although he heard the child’s screams, he was unable to do anything about it.

The PMRS Programme denounced the incident and called on human rights organisations to intervene to end these acts of violence by Israeli forces, and to stop the ongoing humiliation of Palestinians, especially at Israeli checkpoints in Palestinian areas.
