HEBRON, Sunday, September 4, 2022 (WAFA) – A Palestinian child fainted today after he got a sunstroke while detained by Israeli occupation soldiers together with a group of solidarity activists in Masafer Yatta area, south of Hebron in the occupied West Bank, according to local sources.

Rateb Jabour, a local Palestinian activist, told WAFA that Israeli occupation soldiers briefly detained a group of international activists in the village of Fakhit in Masafer Yatta region while they were distributing stationery to students, and also detained a number of children who were accompanying the activists.

He said the activists and children were thrown out under the searing sun by the Israeli soldiers for a few hours, causing Sinmar Le’mour, one of the children detained, to get a sunstroke and faint as a result.

Jabour said the international activists were visiting the area in order to stand by its residents who are facing a series of Israeli closures and restrictions, including Israeli imminent demolition threats facing hundreds of structures in the region, including schools.
