The left-wing B’Tselem group, which has helped spearhead the move to destroy the Jewish community of Migron, escorted on Saturday a supposedly “seriously wounded” Arab boy to file a complaint against Jews in Samaria.
With the help of B’Tselem activists, the 10-year-old boy, who was said to have been “seriously injured” by "masked Jews" on the Sabbath, was released from the hospital several hours later and appeared at a police station to file a complaint.
Police arrested 13 youths, from the age of 13, on the Sabbath Day of Rest after the alleged attack on the boy at the Ramat Migron outpost, next to the larger and well-established community of Migron.
Police officers arrested five girls, who spent the night in jail as well as the 13 youths arrested during the day. A hearing was scheduled for Sunday morning.
The residents of Ramat Migron told police that a large group of Arab goat farmers entered the community, after nightly raids that threatened residents, and had set fire to at least one structure where some of the youths were sleeping.
One of the boys barely escaped with his life after being bruised in the attack.
Left-wing groups, headed by Peace Now, have been behind the successful petition to the High Court to declare that all of Migron is illegal. The court has issued an order that the Migron homes be destroyed and the residents expelled by next March.
Police brought in bulldozers Saturday night to destroy the Ramat Migron outpost, without sparing holy objects and personal items
