Israeli soldiers abducted, on Thursday evening, a Palestinian child who was shot by an army sharpshooter, in the al-‘Eesawiyya town, in occupied East Jerusalem, after the soldiers chased an ambulance transporting him to the hospital.
The child, identified as Mos’ab Mahmoud Mheisin, 14, was shot by several live rounds in the lower extremities, including the groin.
One of his relatives, identified as Bashar Mheisin, said that Mo’ab was standing just a few meters away from his home, and he and his family were on their way to a social event, when clashes took place after the soldiers invaded al-‘Eesawiyya, and clashed with local youths, who hurled stones at their vehicles.
After being shot with several live rounds, a Palestinian ambulance moved him to the al-Makassed hospital, in the at-Tour area, and the doctors later decided he needs further treatment at Shaare Tzedek Israeli medical center.
Mheisin stated that the soldiers, driving a civilian car, chased the Palestinian ambulance, before stopping it, and forced the driver to park it near Augusta Victoria hospital, not far from al-Makassed.
“Then they wrote down my ID number, my phone number, and asked me many questions, before two officers accompanied us in the ambulance that was ordered to head to Sha’are Tzedek Medical Center,” he said, “The civilian car that transported secret security officers, followed us all the way there.”
Mheisin added that the incident led to at least an hour delay in transferring the child, despite his serious injuries, and his urgent need to surgery.
The child’s family managed to stay with him until midnight, but the guards forced them to leave, after questioning him and his uncle Bashar.
On Friday, an Israeli ambulance took the wounded child to the District Court in occupied Jerusalem, where a judge ordered him under interrogation at the Police station in Salaheddin Street area.
Mohammad Abu al-Hummus, a member of the Follow-Up Committee in al-‘Eesawiyya, said the soldiers frequently invade the town, and fire live rounds, rubber-coated steel bullets, gas bombs and concussion grenades, in addition to occupying rooftops to use them as firing posts during clashes.
He added that the wounded child was shot by one of the army sharpshooters, who occupied a rooftop of a residential building, one of many that were utilized by the soldiers as firing posts and monitoring towers.
Abu al-Hummus further said that the soldiers deliberately conduct provocative acts during their invasions, and resort to violent searches of homes and property, in addition to harassing the Palestinians and preventing them from even standing in front of their own homes, or on their balconies.

Israeli Court Sentences Palestinian Teenage Girl To Ten Years
The Israeli District Court in occupied Jerusalem sentenced, Wednesday, a Palestinian teenage girl to ten years in prison, after convicting her of “an attempted stabbing attack,” in the city. The verdict came after Israel delayed her court hearings 24 times since he abducted in February 2016.
The court session was held after repeated delays and rescheduling by the Israeli Prosecutor’s Office, then following Wednesday’s hearing, the teen, identified as Malak Salman, 17, was sentenced to ten year in prison.
Her lawyer and family rejected an Israeli plea agreement sentencing her to fifteen years in prison in exchange for “confession of carrying out a stabbing attack against the soldiers.”
Malak was taken prisoner, on February 9th 2016, in Bab al-‘Amoud area, one of the famous gates of the Old City of occupied Jerusalem.
Amjad Abu Assab, the head of the “Jerusalem Detainees’ Parents Committee,” denounced the verdict and considered it another Israeli assault on children in occupied Palestine, especially in Jerusalem.
He added that this verdict showed the “real racist nature of the Israeli legal system” amidst ongoing deadly international silence, especially in Malak’s case, who never attempted any attack.”
Abu Assab criticized various international legal and human rights groups for what he called “complicity with the Israeli crimes,” especially since Israel’s ongoing aggression and occupation are serious violations on International Law, the Fourth Geneva Convention and all related treaties.
He also stated that detained women are held in prisons far away from their families, and are living under very difficult conditions, ongoing violations, and denied basic rights.
It is worth mentioning that Malak was violently beaten up by the soldiers when they abducted her in Bab al-Amoud, causing various cuts and bruises.
Since her abduction and imprisonment, Malak’s courts sessions have been delayed by Israel for more than 24 times, and she was continuously being transferred to various prisons; she is currently held at the HaSharon prison.
