Israeli forces detain family members of slain East Jerusalem teen

Israeli forces on Saturday detained the parents and two brothers of a Palestinian teen killed by Israeli forces earlier in the day in East Jerusalem.

Locals told Ma'an News that masked Israeli soldiers, intelligence, and special forces raided the home of 16-year-old Muataz Uweisat who had allegedly attempted to stab an Israeli policeman in the East Talpiot settlement.

The forces stood on rooftops, held residents, and prevented locals from approaching the house during the raid carried out in the Jabal al-Mukabbir neighborhood.

Witnesses said that Israeli forces searched the home and took photos before detaining four members of the Uweisat family.
