Occupied Jerusalem, Feb. 8 (BNA) Israeli soldiers and paramilitary police detained a young Palestinian man near the Ibrahimi Mosque in the center of Hebron on Sunday evening, onlookers said.
Palestinian witnesses said Mohammad Jibril Taha, 22, was seized after Israeli forces accused him of stealing a mobile phone. Onlookers also said Israeli forces searched others, checked ID cards, and temporarily denied them access to the area surrounding the mosque. An Israeli military spokesman said that after an initial inquiry, he was unaware of any arrests in the area. em//
