JENIN (Ma’an) -- Israeli forces detained a Palestinian from Bartaa al-Sharqiya for one hour at Dutan checkpoint south of Yabad because he put a Palestinian flag on his vehicle, a Ma'an reporter said Wednesday.

Baha Qabha, who works as a truck driver, told Ma’an that while he was heading to Bartaa al-Sharqiya at 4 p.m., Israeli forces stopped him at Dutan checkpoint south of Yabad village, and forced him to get out of the truck without any reason.

Israeli soldiers briefly took his ID. He added that one of the soldiers lowered the flag which was put on the vehicle and said that this flag is not allowed to be raised in Israel.

After an argument, Israeli soldiers briefly detained Qabha for one hour.

Qabha called the Israeli military liaison which told the soldiers to release him.
