RAMALLAH (Ma’an) -- Israeli forces beat a teenage boy from Nabi Saleh while under interrogation, the boy's father said.

Basel Abdul Ilah Tamimi, 13, was detained in the village last Thursday by undercover Israeli forces and taken to Hallamish settlement.

His father told Ma'an that Israeli forces had threatened to kill him and had beaten him while being interrogated.

He was released in the evening but summoned again for questioning at Beit El DCO on Wednesday, his father said. He was reportedly arrested for participating in the weekly demonstration at Nabi Saleh village.

Mustafa Tamimi, 28, was killed in Nabi Saleh in December when an Israeli soldier fired a tear gas canister at him from point blank range.
