OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- One of the Palestinian boys who were recently run down by the car of an Israeli settler in Jerusalem’s Silwan district last week as seen on television was placed under house arrest.

Israeli news reported Monday that the boy, who was arrested about ten days back on charges of throwing rocks at the car of Elad foundation chief David Be’eri, will be under house arrest for two more weeks and must remain in his residence for the entire time.

Sources added that Israeli security forces imposed a NIS 2,000 fine (around $560) on the boy’s parents in addition to them paying a bail bond of NIS 10,000 (around $2,800).

The development is one in a series of abuse targeting Palestinian minors. Two other minors from the Wadi Al Jawz section of Jerusalem were put under house arrest for at least 20 days.
