Qalqiliya – Ma’an – Eyewitnesses reported Israeli forces beating a citizen at the District Coordination Office checkpoint east of Qalqiliya Saturday evening.
The witnesses said Israeli forces attacked a man they identified as 43-year-old Ayman Abdul Maksoud Tebbieh, pulled him from his car and beat him.
In a statement following the incident Tebbieh said he had gone to the DCO to lodge a complaint about the treatment he and his children received at a different West Bank checkpoint earlier in the week. He said he was surprised when his attempt to file a report was stymied and soldiers at the office began beating him.
Tebbieh said that when he fell to the floor from the impact of the blows one soldier poured a hot cup of tea on his body, causing mild burns.
The man was transferred to the Dr Darwish Hospital in Qalqiliya to receive treatment. Doctors described his condition as moderate, noting he suffered from burns and internal bleeding.
Israeli military officials said they had not heard of any such incident but were investigating the report.
