Israeli border guards have been caught on camera beating a 17-year-old Palestinian student in a West Bank village near Nablus. The incident was filmed by a local resident on Wednesday. The beating occurred after the Israeli guards questioned and detained three Palestinian youths who had just left school. This is Bassem Eid, the head of the Palestinian Human Rights Monitoring Group.

Bassem Eid: “I think that beating Palestinians today has become as a kind of a disease among the Israeli soldiers and border police and even the Israeli regular police. Our organization almost received a lot of complaints from Palestinians, not even only children, but even elder people, women that has been beaten at the checkpoints by the Israelis.”
