Palestinian child vomits out of fear as Israeli army detain him

Israeli troops detained a 12-year-old Palestinian child after storming his family home in a refugee camp in the occupied West Bank on Wednesday. 

The boy, Karim Ghawanmeh, vomited out of fear when he realised the army wanted to arrest him, his brother Othman told Middle East Eye.

Othman said Israeli forces blew open the family’s old house in the Jalazone refugee camp, north of Ramallah, at dawn. 

The family had recently moved out of the house, so the soldiers phoned Karim’s father when they didn’t find anyone there. 
An officer told him that he had to immediately hand over his son to the army. 

“We were in great shock. My mother started crying and screaming,” Othman told MEE.

“When we woke Karim up, he immediately started vomiting out of fear,” he added.
