Israeli occupation policemen stormed the Silwan town, south of the Aqsa Mosque in occupied Jerusalem, on Wednesday and arrested five Palestinian children including two brothers.

Eyewitnesses reported that the policemen took away the children from their homes after spraying gas at their families.

The children are 13 to 18 years old.

Silwan is the target of a ferocious Israeli campaign and has recently witnessed many raids by policemen who focus on arresting children claiming they throw stones at Jewish settlers.
