Why did these Israeli soldiers take this young Palestinian girl’s bike?

A screen capture from a video published on YouTube on August 1, 2016 showing Israeli troops bullying a young Palestinian girl.

Watch how two armed Israeli soldiers confiscate and throw away an eight-year-old Palestinian girl's bicycle for no apparent reason in the West Bank city of al-Khalil (Hebron).

The video was taken by a member of the Israeli human rights group B’tselem in July and recently published on YouTube.

In the footage the Israeli troops can be seen bullying the girl who was playing with her siblings.

After stomping on her bike, the Israelis send the child home in tears, then take her bike and throw it in nearby bushes.

The occupied territories have witnessed a fresh bout of tensions ever since Israeli forces introduced restrictions on the entry of Palestinian worshipers into the al-Aqsa Mosque compound in East Jerusalem al-Quds in August 2015.
