Kid traumatized after Israeli soldiers use dogs to scare him

The photo shows a screen grab from a video showing a dog belonging to Israeli forces attacking a Palestinian child in December 2014.

A newly released video shows Israeli forces threatening a Palestinian child by siccing two dogs on him, revealing the atrocious methods the Tel Aviv regime employs to brutalize the Palestinian people.

The video clip, which emerged on the social media on Monday, depicts the Israeli soldiers scaring the teen with two dogs in an area which seems to be 10 kilometers north of Hebron (al-Khalil) in December, 2014.

The teen in the video struggles to set himself free from the grip of the Israeli soldiers and the claws and fangs of the dogs.

"Who's a chicken, eh? Who's a chicken? Great. Very good," the voice of an unidentified Israeli soldier can be heard in the Background.

Another soldier incites the dog to bite the Palestine child by saying, "get him".

It has been revealed that the child had been arrested by the Israeli forces and posed no threat to them before being subjected to such a horrendous experience.

An investigation is reportedly underway to pinpoint the exact time and location of the inhumane act.

On February 4, the Palestinian Prisoners Society (PPS) said 11 Palestinian teenagers were detained when Israeli forces carried out a raid against their homes in the occupied West Bank and East al-Quds (Jerusalem).

More than 7,000 Palestinian prisoners are currently held in some 17 Israeli jails, dozens of whom are serving multiple life sentences. About 540 Palestinians are being held without trial under the so-called administrative detention.

The Israeli regime subjects arrested Palestinian children to cruel torment to obtain “coerced” confessions from them, the Palestine section of Defense for Children International (DCI), a children’s rights group, said early in February.

“The Israeli military detention system subjects Palestinian children to several days of prolonged interrogation and isolation with the apparent goal of obtaining a confession at all costs,” said Ayed Abu Qtaish, the director of Accountability Program at the children’s rights group said.

The rights organization further said the Palestinian child detainees spent an average of 15 days in solitary confinement in 2014, adding that one of the Palestinian kids captured by Tel Aviv regime forces had been kept as many as 26 days in isolation for interrogation purposes.

“The military courts admit these coerced confessions as evidence to convict these children in a complete mockery of due process and fair trial standards,” the group added.

The group also said that Israel kept in excess of 56 Palestinian children, who had no right to be accompanied by an adult, in solitary confinement between 2012 and 2014.

The Israeli forces take the Palestinian kids to interrogation centers blindfolded, with over 75 percent of the detainees suffering some form of physical violence, the rights body added.
