Israeli troops detained a Palestinian child in the occupied West Bank on Saturday as illegal settlers carried out fresh assaults against Palestinian farmers across the territory, according to local reports.
Israeli forces chased and beat a 17-year-old child from the Dheisheh refugee camp, as he was riding his bicycle in the town of al-Dawha, west of Bethlehem, and arrested him, the official news agency Wafa reported.
