On 18 October 2025, Israeli soldiers raided the main street in the al-Qasarah area of Hebron. At the time, Ibrahim a-Rajabi, 6, and his cousin Adam, 5, went out to play near their homes. Footage shows soldiers dragging Ibrahim, forcing Adam to sit on the ground, kicking the children, and leading them to the corner of the street. A witness said the two lay on the ground, covered in dust and crying, while one soldier pressed his knee against Adam’s abdomen. When residents asked the soldiers what they were doing, they claimed the children had thrown stones. About 20 minutes later, the soldiers released the children and left the area. Ibrahim’s mother, Iman a-Rajabi, said her son returned home pale, crying, and covered in dust. Since the incident, he has suffered from anxiety, sleep disturbances, and refuses to leave the house alone, even to school. In the West Bank, Palestinian children are routinely exposed to military presence, raids, detentions, and violent arrests, even on their way to school or while playing near home. This violence is part of a policy aimed at maintaining control through fear and repression, under Israel’s apartheid and occupation regime in the West Bank.
