BETHLEHEM (Ma'an) -- Israeli forces detained a six-year-old Palestinian boy in Bethlehem's Aida refugee camp on Tuesday, locals said.

The boy, Abdullah Youssef, was detained as clashes broke out in the area between Israeli military forces and Palestinian youths. The head of a local coordination committee for popular resistance, Munther Amireh, was also arrested while attempting to free the young boy.

Youssef was released several hours later, while Amireh is still being held in Israeli custody.
