On 13 September 2018, at around 7:30 Border Police officers detained two Palestinian boys who live in the Old
City of Hebron: Q.R. (13) and ‘A.H. (8). The boys were on their way to
school on a-Sahla Street. According to the officers, they had thrown
stones at the nearby Checkpoint 160.

The officers took the two to the Pharmacy Checkpoint, some 50 meters
from the school. There, they were made to sit and forbidden to talk to
relatives who came to the checkpoint. After about an hour and a half,
they were taken to the police station by the Tomb of the
Patriarchs/al-Haram a-Sharif. About two hours later, ‘A.H. was allowed
to go home with his mother. Q.R. was taken to the police station in
Kiryat Arba, where he was questioned for about half an hour and then
sent home with his father.
