Israelis seize 4 schoolgirls in south Hebron hills

BETHLEHEM - Israeli forces on Tuesday
detained four Palestinian girls in the south Hebron hills after a
settler accused them of stealing cherries, human rights group B'Tselem
said.
The
girls, aged 11 to 15, were on their way home from school with an
Israeli army escort when Israeli police arrested them. They were taken
to an Israeli police station in Hebron with no adult accompaniment and
held for four hours until being handed over to Palestinian police and
released.
"The
absurdity and injustice of holding four girls on suspicion of such a
minor offense is disgraceful and outrageous, especially given that the
authorities systematically refrain from enforcing the law on settlers
who attack these girls and their families," B'Tselem said.
International volunteers from Operation Dove filmed the incident.
