"Most moral army in the world" steals bicycles from Palestinian children in occupied Bethlehem

Israeli Soldiers Steal Bicycles From Two Children In Bethlehem

Israeli soldiers stole, on Saturday morning, bicycles from two children, in ‘Aida refugee camp, in the West Bank district of Bethlehem.

Monther Amira, an activist with the Popular Committee against the Annexation Wall and Colonies, said the two children were riding their bicycles and playing in the al-Moftah area, at the eastern entrance of the refugee camp.

Amira added that the soldiers invaded that area, stole the bicycles from the two children, and withdrew shortly after.

The Israeli army frequently assaults Palestinian children, playing in their communities, in addition to repeatedly targeting them with live fire, rubber-coated metal bullets, gas bombs and concussion grenades.

On July 25, Israeli Border Guard Police officers, harassed an eight-year-old Palestinian child in Hebron, in the southern part of the occupied West Bank, and took her bicycle away before throwing it in a ditch.

Although the abuse was caught on tape, the Police Investigation Unit of the Israeli Justice Department (Mahash) decided not to indict the Border Guard police officers.

The officers were caught on tape harassing the child, in the center of Hebron city, before they took her bicycle away from her and threw it in the bushes.
