Israeli Police Arrests 2 Palestinian Teenagers in Jerusalem

Two Palestinian teens were detained in clashes in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Wadi al-Joz Friday evening.

Witnesses say that Israeli undercover forces raided the area and arrested a Palestinian after beating him. Palestinian youths burnt tires and threw firecrackers at Israeli police cars stationed at the entrance to the neighborhood.

Elsewhere, Israeli police detained Hamada Dauwod Naser, 13, as he was walking near Damascus Gate in the Old City towards his home.

Naser's brother Mohammad had been detained on Thursday evening but released on bail with a sentence for two days under house arrest on Friday.

Israeli police also released Palestinian child Muslim Odeh and youth Mohammad Sharawneh after detaining them for hours at the Russian Compound (al-Moskobiya) detention center.

An Israeli police spokesman did not return a request for a comment.
