Two Palestinian Youths Seriously Wounded after Brutal Attack by Israeli Soldiers

The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) last Thursday unjustifiably caused serious bullet injuries to two young men and let their police dogs maul them before they brutally beat them and took them into custody, according to the lawyer of the ministry of prisoners 'affairs in Ramallah.

Lawyer Tareq Barghouthi stated on Saturday that 17-year-old Adam Jamous and 19-year-old Jawhar Halabiya, both from Abu Dis town in east Jerusalem, suffered several bullets injuries when Israeli border soldiers suddenly opened fire at them as they were on their way to visit one of their friends in the town on the 30th of last month.

Barghouthi, who visited the young men in hospital, said that the Israeli soldiers also unleashed their dogs on them before they dragged them some 300 meters away and kept beating them with their rifle butts, hands and feet despite their serious injuries.

He affirmed that the two young men are in very difficult health conditions and suffer from multiple bullet wounds, bruises and fractures.

The lawyer noted that the young men are now under tight police guard in Hadassah Ein Karem hospital in occupied Jerusalem and banned from seeing their families.
