Israeli police claimed that two Palestinian teenagers, believed to be about 12 and 13 years old, attacked a guard on a train on Tuesday.
The moderately-injured guard shot and seriously wounded one of the young Palestinian assailants; the other was chased and caught by civilians. Police say the man is in critical condition.
The current wave of weeks long violence between Israelis and Palestinians was sparked following a controversy over the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in east Jerusalem.
Israel safety forces arrested 24 suspected members of Palestinian Islamist group Hamas in in a single day raids in the northern West Bank, the Army stated on Tuesday.
Administrative detention is a sort of imprisonment without trial or charge that allows Israel to incarcerate Palestinians for up to six months.
Hundreds of Palestinians purchased apartments in the new buildings, however were unable to move in because the city lacked running water.
The two teens stabbed the 13-year-old Israeli and an Israeli man after which Manasra’s cousin was shot dead by police.
Israel promptly accused Abbas – as it has done repeatedly in the past months – of fomenting violence with what it says are incendiary comments.
A Palestinian bystander was hurt by a stray bullet, Samri added. The video made no mention of the preceding attack.
At the beginning of the video, an Israeli officer is shown shouting and raising his hand threateningly at the child.
Later, one of the Israeli officers shows Manasra video footage on a computer and yells, “Why did you stab him with a knife?”
It is not known who released the video, accessible only to those involved in the investigation and to lawyers.
“You can not terrify, or threaten, or tempt, for the goal of achieving a confession”, she said, according to AP.

Police spokesperson Luba Samri denied the allegations, saying the questioning was carried out “in a professional manner”.
