JERUSALEM, July 17, 2025 (WAFA) – Israeli occupation forces detained a young Palestinian man Tuesday evening after severely beating him at Hizma military checkpoint northeast of occupied Jerusalem, according to local sources.
Sources told WAFA that Israeli soldiers stopped a vehicle carrying the young man at the checkpoint and forced him to get out before assaulting him with fists and batons, resulting in multiple injuries and bruises across his body.
The soldiers handcuffed the young man following the assault and transferred him by a military vehicle to an unknown destination. The checkpoint was temporarily closed, and civilians were prevented from passing or documenting the incident.
The occupation forces continue to intensify their repressive measures at checkpoints surrounding Jerusalem, including field detentions and physical abuse, as part of a systematic policy aimed at restricting Palestinian movement and terrorizing the population on a daily basis.
