Palestinian Jerusalemite Bassam Zeidani confirmed that Israeli forces stormed his Jerusalem home yesterday and ordered the arrest of his nephew Hamza Zeidani, a child who is only two years old.

Zeidani added that Israeli forces entered his home with a warrant for Hamza's arrest and when they saw that he was a toddler they proceeded to arrest his uncle, Mohammad Zeidani.

The president of the Palestinian Prisoners' Club Fares Qaddura said: "The so-called Israeli security establishment suffers from a sense of blindness, paranoia and obsession with security when it comes to Jerusalem and this has escalated to the point where today forces ordered the arrest of a baby."

Qaddura warned that the continuation of such policies would mean that the brutal occupation no longer differentiates between children and adults.
