ISRAELI occupation forces detained a teenage cousin of jailed Palestinian schoolgirl Ahed Tamimi today.
Troops seized Mohammed Bilal Tamimi, 19, in a dawn raid on his family home in the village of Nabi Saleh near the Palestinian Authority capital of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank.
In a video captured by his family, Mohammed is seen embracing his parents and siblings before being taken away, as his mother Nariman says: “Stay strong my son. May God protect you from them.”
