Israeli forces summoned a 10-year-old child from occupied East Jerusalem to question him.

Mohammad Najib was summoned by Israeli forces on Wednesday to be questioned about his father Yasser Najib.

The security services called Yasser on Wednesday and ordered him to appear with Mohammad at the Jaffa Gate police station in Jerusalem on Sunday.

He told Palestinain Authority news agency WAFA that this is fourth time Israeli intelligence summons one of his sons for questioning.

Israel has occupied the West Bank illegally since 1967, committing various crimes against Palestinian civilians.

More than 600,000 Israeli Jews live in settlements in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem, in constructions considered illegal under international law.

Along with stealing land, occupying Israeli forces and settlers routinely torment Palestinians in various ways.
