Images of Israeli soldier trying to arrest boy with broken arm go viral
Jerusalem (CNN) - Images of an armed Israeli soldier trying to arrest an 11-year-old Palestinian boy with a broken arm in the West Bank went viral on social media over the weekend.
The images show the soldier putting a headlock on the child while women pull on the soldier's back, trying to free the boy.
The altercation took place during a weekly protest Friday organized by Palestinian activists against settlement construction in the village of Nabi Saleh in the West Bank.
Bassem Tamimi, the boy's father, told CNN that he was present at the time.
"This is very difficult for any father or mother to see their son or daughter in that way, being violently attacked," said Tamimi.
Tamimi is a Palestinian activist and was one of the organizers of the demonstration.
