Bahraini police have arrested the grandson of the kingdom's most senior Shia cleric for participating in a pro-Palestinian protest.
17-year-old Mahdi Nasser, grandson of Sheikh Isa Qassim, was detained by police while taking part in a demonstration in support of Gaza, according to local media.
The kingdom normalised relations with Israel in 2020, but there have been repeated protests against relations with the country since then.
On Thursday, Bahrain's parliament said it had recalled its ambassador to Israel over the war in Gaza.
