Israeli occupation forces (IOF) kidnapped a 13-year-old Palestinian girl in Al-Khalil on Tuesday night on charges of "throwing stones" at Jewish settlers near her home.

Local sources asserted that  IOF soldiers broke into the family home of Suhad Al-Iwiwi, in the Old City of Al-Khalil beating her and her parents. Her aunt managed to go with her as she fainted after the beating.

The soldiers took Suhad to a police station in Kiryat Arba settlement east of Al-Khalil for questioning.
