Archivist Notes On This Video

According to Qods

"The incident, which took place on Wednesday (November 15, 2023), comes as part of an Israeli directive at the Shuafat Refugee Camp checkpoint to strip-search Palestinian men and boys passing through the barriers.

According to the Palestine Chronicle, Israeli soldiers were trying to strip the young boy off his clothes when he refused to take off his trousers, and then violently attacked him and arrested him.

The video, published on Twitter on Thursday, not only shows Israeli soldiers attacking the Palestinian boy, but also attacking a woman who stepped out of her car in an attempt to stop the Israeli soldiers from violently beating him.

Tensions remain high at the Shuafat checkpoint in North al-Quds, after Israeli forces shot and injured a 13-year-old boy in the Shufat refugee camp on Monday, alleging he attempted to stab soldiers at the camp’s checkpoint.

Israeli occupation forces raided the camp and attacked residents, who confronted the Israeli forces, shooting at a car and injuring its driver, according to WAFA."
