An Israeli court in Occupied Al-Quds (Jerusalem) on Thursday night decided to place a Palestinian teenager under house arrest and extend the detention of six others.

According to Wadi Hilweh Information Center, an Israeli court ordered the release of a teenager called Nour Khamis on condition of not leaving his home for five days. He was arrested and interrogated a few days ago.

The court also extended the detention of another kid called Hammam al-Husseini until July 23 after an indictment was filed against him.

Husseini had been exposed to harsh interrogation by Israeli police officers since he was kidnaped from his home in Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood recently. His sick elderly father was also arrested and his brother was summoned for interrogation at the time.

The detention of other teenagers called Mohamed Farroukh, Ameer Farroukh, Ahmed Abu Khalaf, Mohamed al-Abbasi and Mohamed Abu Tayeh was extended until October 31.

In a separate incident, five-year-old Mimati Jaber suffered head bruises after an Israeli settler guard physically assaulted him in the Arab neighborhood of Maragha in Silwan district, east Al-Quds (Jerusalem).
