My mother woke me up at around 2:00 a.m. and told me that Israeli soldiers were in our house and wanted us all to gather in the living room. I was terrified as I went to the living room.

 

The commander asked for my name and then checked his list and told me I was under arrest. My father wanted to know the reason for my arrest and the commander handed him a document which said they wanted to question me about throwing stones at soldiers. My father had an argument with the commander as he tried to explain to him that I did not throw stones at soldiers. The commander did not tell my father where they were going to take me.

 

As soon as I got dressed the soldiers took me outside where they tied my hands to the back with one plastic tie. The tie was very tight. They also blindfolded me and took me to a military jeep and made me sit on the floor. The jeep drove for about 30 minutes towards the nearby military base. I was taken to a room where I sat on the floor for about 30 minutes and then I was taken to see a doctor.

 

The doctor removed the tie and the blindfold and gave me a form to fill out. I was then taken back to the room where I remained until around 7:00 a.m. I was then driven to the police station in Binyamin settlement. I was taken to a waiting room where I sat on the floor until around 10:00 a.m. I was then taken for interrogation.

 

The first interrogator wore an Israeli police uniform. He removed the tie and the blindfold and told me I had the right to remain silent and the right to consult with a lawyer. I did not speak to a lawyer. He turned a tape recorder on and a camera and asked me for my father’s phone number. Then he accused me of throwing stones and Molotov cocktail at soldiers. I told him this was not true. He then told me there were confessions against me from other boys but he did not mention their names to me. The interrogator allowed me to use the toilet and to drink water.

 

The interrogation lasted for about an hour. I was then tied and blindfolded and taken to a courtyard where I sat on the ground for about 30 minutes. "Captain Fouad" then took me for a second round of interrogation.

 

Captain Fouad removed the tie and the blindfold and accused me of the same accusation. When I denied the accusation he became angry and started to swear at me saying terrible things about my religion. He then asked me general questions about my village and I felt he wanted to gather some intelligence. He then took me to see a policeman who printed out my statement in Hebrew and asked me to sign it. I signed it without understanding what it said.

 

I was then photographed and fingerprinted. Then Captain Fouad tied and blindfolded me again and took me to the courtyard where I remained until around 4:00 p.m. Soldiers then brought me some food.

 

At around 4:00 p.m. I was put in the back of a jeep which drove for about an hour to Ofer prison, near Jerusalem. I was strip searched before being taken to the juvenile section. On Sunday, 1 November 2015, I was taken to the waiting room at the military court. I was never taken into the court itself and I did not see a lawyer. I was taken back to prison and around 4:30 p.m. I was released.
