Palestinian injured after Israeli assault in Bethlehem
A 23-year-old Palestinian man was wounded on Sunday after being violently assaulted by Israeli forces in the town of al-Khader, south of Bethlehem, according to the Palestinian news agency Wafa.
His father, Ibrahim Mousa, said Israeli soldiers stormed their home and dragged his son Omar outside and brutally beat him.
The soldiers allegedly demanded he pay 50,000 shekels (about $13,880) and accused him of receiving a stipend as a former prisoner.
The assault left him with bruises across his body, Wafa reported.
