The 16-year-old Palestinian detained boy, Fawzi al-Junaidi, whose photo, showing him surrounded by over 20 Israeli soldiers during his arrest operation on December 07, went viral on social media, narrated his story of being tortured at the hands of Israeli soldiers at the time of arrest.
Captive Junaidi told the lawyer of the Palestinian Prisoner Society, Mamoun al-Hesheim who visited him in Ofer jail, that an Israeli soldier beat him by a rifle on his chest while he was passing by clashes in al-Tuffah Street in al-Khalil to visit his relatives.
The lawyer quoted Junaidi as saying that 23 soldiers, as shown in the photo, joined that soldier and started cursing and hitting him, by feet, hands and guns, while lying down.
A statement, issued on Saturday by the Society, stated that Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) blindfolded the boy and tied his hands with a plastic chain which injured his hands. He was marched to the so called Container barrier with bare feet.
The boy added that the soldiers detained him after that in a dark room where they continued beating him brutally. They tortured him by pouring cold water on his feet and strongly stepping on them. He was about to faint of severe pain, he said.
Detainee Junaidi was left with bruises all over his body which required him to be taken to hospital before moving him to jail.
The lawyer also pointed out that Israeli occupation authorities subjected the detained minor to investigation while being tied by a metal chain. His lawyer was not allowed to accompany him during the investigation and he was banned from contacting his family.
The investigator forced prisoner Junaidi to sign a confession in Hebrew without even offering him a translation, the lawyer added.
The published photo of the boy has been locally and internationally condemned as symbolizing the Israeli army's use of excessive force against Palestinian detained children.

The US House of Representatives member for Minnesota, Betty McCollum, has demanded that the US taxpayer money must not be used to support the Israeli occupation forces who detain Palestinian children.
The US official said in an article published by The Nation newspaper that Israel is the greatest beneficiary of the US military assistance, part of which flows to Israel's abusive detention of Palestinian children.
McCollum added that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has persisted for decades, including 50 years of Israeli military occupation of Palestinian lands. To help sustain the occupation, Israel's military forces have arrested, interrogated, and imprisoned thousands of Palestinian children mostly for throwing stones.
She explained that children under the age of 12 are taken from their beds at night handcuffed and blindfolded by the Israeli soldiers to the detention centers. Under the Israeli military law, these children are denied access to lawyers during interrogation, and even younger children are regularly denied access to their parents during interrogations.
She concluded by saying, "I firmly believe that Palestinian children deserve to be treated with the same humanity, dignity, and human rights as any child anywhere including children in the US or Israel."
