The occupation arrests a disabled person, subjects him to torture, and injures 3 Palestinians with severe beating.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society stated that 3 Palestinians were injured today, Wednesday, as a result of being beaten by the Israeli occupation army at a checkpoint in the northern occupied West Bank.

The society said in a statement that its teams dealt with 3 citizens who sustained bruises after being beaten by the Israeli army at the Deir Sharaf checkpoint west of Nablus.

It reported that the injured were transferred to a hospital for treatment.

Anadolu Agency quoted eyewitnesses as saying that the army tightened its military procedures at the checkpoint, scrutinized the identity cards of passersby, subjected their vehicles to inspection, and detained citizens for hours.

Israel maintains about a thousand military checkpoints and gates in the West Bank, according to the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission affiliated with the Palestine Liberation Organization.

In other developments, Al Jazeera's correspondent reported clashes between Palestinian youths and settlers in the town of Burqa in the Ramallah governorate in the West Bank, and Palestinian sources reported that occupation forces stormed the town of Silwad east of the city.

Meanwhile, settlers - under the protection of occupation forces - continued to prevent Palestinian farmers from accessing their lands to harvest olives in villages and towns of the West Bank.

In a related context, the newspaper "Haaretz" reported that Israeli authorities have been detaining a disabled Palestinian boy for two weeks, with Hebrew media stating that he is subjected to violence from guards and inmates.

The newspaper said, "The General Security Service (Shabak) and the police have detained a 14-year-old boy with special needs for two weeks on suspicion of committing security offenses."

It added on Tuesday that "the boy, who is from central Israel, is diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and suffers from a complete disability."

"Haaretz" added that "Israeli army forces arrested him during a family visit in the West Bank," and authorities prohibited "the publication of his name and the reason for his arrest," according to "Haaretz."

More than 10,000 Palestinian detainees, including children and women, are held in Israeli prisons, suffering from torture, starvation, and medical neglect that has led to the deaths of many detainees, according to Israeli and Palestinian human rights organizations.
