Israeli occupation forces arrested and assaulted a young man near Institute Street, which runs adjacent to Qalandia refugee camp in the north of occupied Jerusalem, the Ma'an news agency reported. The incident took place in the area bordering the camp during what witnesses described as a routine military operation in the zone.
The identity of the detainee and specific circumstances that prompted the arrest remained unclear. Israeli forces regularly conduct operations in areas surrounding the refugee camp, a densely populated settlement established decades ago to house displaced Palestinians.
