Israeli Forces Deprive Palestinian Mother of Breastfeeding
The Israeli occupation forces arrest a Palestinian mother despite the cries of her daughter.
Israeli media reported that occupation forces arrested the Palestinian mother of a 3-month-old infant.
The arrest, allegedly for questioning purpose, came on the heels of claims made by settlers about her throwing stones at a passenger car.
The mother revealed that the occupation forces prevented her from breastfeeding her 3-month-old daughter for long hours, "even though the child was crying of hunger in her father's arms outside the police station," according to the Israeli Channel 13 news.
The Palestinian mother denied the accusations made against her, and was subsequently handed over to the Palestinian police before eventually being released.

It is worth noting that the Israeli occupation continues to detain about 11 mothers in its prisons, preventing them from embracing their children, according to reports by the Palestinian Prisoners Club.
Palestinians are exposed to poor treatment on a daily basis at the occupation checkpoints in the West Bank, with some videos demonstrating the difficulties that Palestinian families face while passing through them.
