Israeli soldiers drag 8-year-old from home to home looking for stone-throwers, Hebron, March 2017

At about 1:30 PM. on 19 March 2017, a force of more than 15 soldiers seized 8-year-old Sufian Abu Hitah, who was out on the street barefoot, looking for a lost toy. Two soldiers dragged him to the al-Harika neighborhood and took him into several homes, demanding he identify children who had thrown stones and a Molotov cocktail at the Kiryat Arba settlement. Over an hour later, several women managed to extricate the boy and return him to his mother. Two local residents, including B'Tselem volunteer May Da'na, captured the incident on video.
