Israeli cops interrogate 13-year-old
In video footage obtained by Ma'an news agency, Israeli officials have been captured on film hurling abuse at a 13-year-old Palestinian child accused of stabbing two Israelis in East Jerusalem last month during the child's interrogation.
The footage shows segments of the interrogation of Ahmad Manasra, 13, as Israeli detectives yell curses and verbally abuse the child, while questioning him about the incident and his motives.
It is not known when the footage was recorded. Israel's Jerusalem District Court indicted 13-year-old Manasra on charges of attempted murder on Oct 30 following an attack on two Israelis on Oct 12.
The stabbing attack took place near the illegal Israeli settlement of Pisgat Zeev in occupied East Jerusalem, and reportedly left two Israelis, aged 13 and 21, seriously injured.
A video of Ahmad lying injured and bloody on the ground after being hit by the car was uploaded to social media and went viral. Ahmad will reportedly be held in a closed facility until prosecution.
At least 81 Palestinians have been killed since the start of violence in October, as rights group call for Israel to halt "unlawful" killings of Palestinians who have not posed a great enough threat at the time of their death for the deliberate use of force to be permissible by Israeli forces.
