Israeli rights group B’Tselem said, on Tuesday, that the Israeli occupation forces kidnapped one of its volunteers, kept him in jails for six days without any reason.
B’Tselem said, in a report about the incident: “On Friday as 4pm, about 20 to 30 residents form the village of Madma in the south of [the West Bank] city of Nablus. They were in a picnic with their families.”
The report continued, according to Days of Palestine: “At 6:15pm, five or six Israeli soldiers from the area of the [illegal] Israeli settlement of Yitzhar, which is about 1.5km away from Madma, approached the Palestinian families and fired tear gas at them.”

Watching what was going on, B’Tselem volunteer Ahmed Ziyada, 25, arrived in the scene. He is a resident of Madma and get out of his home after seeing the tear gas being fired at the Palestinian families.
Ziyada approached the three Israeli soldiers with his camera taking footage of them and the violations.

“One of the soldiers put his foot on my head and the others continued beating me,” Ziyada told B’Tselem. “They took me to the Huwwara Military Camp, where he spent five days under investigation. On sixth day, he was taken to Salem Court as he was accused of undermining soldiers’ work.”
Then, Ziyada was turned back to Huwwara Military Camp and then was released on bail of NIS500. “He was released at 11:30pm,” B’Tselem report said and was left to go home alone.
