Palestinian arrested in Khan al-Ahmar clashes
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAm 18-year-old Palestinian woman is arrested during clashes with Israeli security forces in the Bedouin village of Khan al-Ahmar, the B’Tselem rights group reports.
Footage from the brawl shows officers using taser guns against the Palestinian activists, two of whom were taken to nearby hospitals for further treatment.
The Supreme Court recently rejected a final appeal against plans to demolish the village.
Israel says it was built illegally and has offered to resettle its residents nearby, but critics say the demolition aims to displace Palestinians in favor of Israeli settlement expansion.
