The Wadi Hilweh Information Center in Silwan (Silwanic) said the soldiers kidnapped a child, identified as Ahmad Shalloudi, 14 years of age, and a young man identified as Amin Abdul-Hai Dari.

In addition, soldiers invaded and searched homes in the Suwwana neighborhood, east of the Old City Walls, kidnapped a child identified as Majd Nael Zada, 15 years of age, as he was leaving a shop next to his home, and another child identified as Waseem Kabaja, 13, as he was walking on the main street in the same neighborhood.

Another child, identified as Abdul-Hadi Abu Ghazala, 11, was kidnapped from his school in the at-Tour village, while Sami Abu Sara, 11, and Sami Ahmad Abu Ghannam, 16, were kidnapped in the village.

Undercover forces invaded Iben Rosh School, in at-Tour, and kidnapped Abu Ghazala, and summoned several other children for interrogation.

The soldiers attacked the child and were shouting and cursing at him, wounding him and causing him to suffer an anxiety attack.

The child has since been suffering anxiety attacks, unable to sleep properly, and is constantly asking his family "why did they [the soldiers] shoot me?" especially since there were no clashes at the time of the invasion, and the shooting.
