Alwaght- Israeli regime forces chained Palestinian teenager Abdullah Haroun al-Anati to his hospital bed after they shot him with a rubber-coated steel bullet in the chest.
Al-Anati’s mother Abir told Ma'an Tuesday that her 14-year-old son was being held in Israeli custody while receiving medical treatment, as Israeli forces accused the boy of throwing stones at Israeli military vehicles during Israeli forces violent raid at Shufat refugee camp in occupied East al-Quds (Jerusalem), which also injured a 9-year-old girl injured.
"The bullet ripped through his left hand and his lung and has caused internal bleeding,” Abir said, "soldiers are present in the room and they don't allow me to talk to my son or come close to him."
She added that an Israeli interrogator questioned al-Anati on Monday evening for approximately two hours. The interrogator, she added, took away the boy’s shoes and clothes.
Abir denied claims that her son was throwing rocks, saying that she was walking him and her daughters home from school when he was shot.
"I was with Abdullah and the girls on Monday afternoon escorting them from school in Kafr Aqab to our home in the camp," she said, adding that that when she and her children entered the camp, there were clashes near the Israeli military checkpoint at the entrance to Shufat.
According to Abir, she managed to cross the checkpoint into the camp along with her children and walked away from the area where clashes were taking place.
Abdullah, she said, walked at a faster pace ahead of his mother and sisters, causing her to lose sight of him. Moments later, she learned from local youth that her son was shot.
She added that she took her son to a local medical center before he was taken in an ambulance to the hospital. "Israeli soldiers at the checkpoint allowed the ambulance to pass after holding it for more than half an hour." The soldiers, she said, insisted on following the ambulance with a military vehicle and demanded the driver to go to Hadassah hospital.
