JERUSALEM, January 11, 2016 (WAFA) – Israeli soldiers Monday directly hit a Palestinian child with a bullet in the village of Hizma, north of Jerusalem under the pretext of hurling stones at a bus carrying Israeli settlers.
According to witnesses from the village, 12 –year-old Qusai Nimr sustained injuries after being targeted with a bullet in his lower body.
Nimr was transferred to Ein Kerem hospital and is currently under arrest.
According to Defense for Children, “injuries are frequently sustained when children are arrested, transferred and detained in interrogation centers or prisons.”
Since the beginning of unrest and clashes in October 2015, over 25 Palestinians children and minors were killed and hundreds other sustained injuries ranging from suffocation to physical injuries.
