Around ten o clock, in Tel Rumeida, Anas Sharabate, a 23 year old
Palestinian man, was violently beaten and arrested by Israeli solders.
After the beating, Sharabate was handcuffed and detained by solders for
around twenty minutes. Though he was clearly suffering, the police
continued to push and berate him. Though an ambulance was eventually
called, its entrance was blocked by soldiers at checkpoint 56, so the
medical personnel had to arrive on foot. After some minutes Anas was
released from handcuffs, and he was carried on a stretcher to the
ambulance. Because of the soldiers’ obstruction, it took the stretcher
around five minutes to arrive at the checkpoint, and pass through the
metal detector. He is currently hospitalized, and is being treated for a
fractured skull.

Moments later, 16 year old Awne Abu Shamsiyeh
was arrested by a dozen solders just one hundred meters further up Tel
Rumeida, who converged in numbers, threw him violently to the ground,
put him in a choke-hold, and removed him to the military base. He was
held for some 30 minutes before he was released and taken away by a
second ambulance, to be treated for injuries sustained by the soldiers’
treatment.
