A video showing����dragging��away��a young����man with Down's��syndrome has surfaced online, triggering anger and consternation in the West Bank.��

In the video,��Israeli soldiers are seen manhandling��the visibly terrified disabled man - said to be in his 20s -��during a protest in����in��occupied East Jerusalem on Monday, where Palestinian homes have been subject to demolition and families ordered out of their homes.

��are seen attempting to stop the man being dragged away, who is in tears during the ordeal, and calm him as he huddles in��terror.��

Israeli forces detained Mohammed Al-Ajlouni, a young Palestinian with Down syndrome, in Sheikh Jarrah.

Israeli state violence is cruel and does not care about a Palestinian’s age, gender, or ability. All Palestinians are seen as a threat.

The release of the footage sparked immediate anger online.��

"Israeli state violence is cruel and does not care about a Palestinian's age, gender, or ability. All Palestinians are seen as a threat," the IfNotNow organisation . ��

"On the same week of the violent destruction of the freedom tent camp by thugs, other thugs on the other side of the city of Jerusalem, in Sheich [sic] Jarrah neighborhood, violently trying to arrest a young man with Down syndrome. Criminals in uniform. Israel 2022," another commenter .��

It was reported by Wafa, that Israeli forces attacked the man, named as Mohammed Al-Ajlouni after he yelled "Allahu Akbar"��at a demonstration.��

"These Israeli soldiers attacking a Palestinian child w/#DownSyndrome is beyond evil. As the grandfather of a special needs child, what I’m seeing here both breaks my heart & fills me w/ rage. Damn these heartless brutes. Just damn them for their cruelty," James Zogby, founder of the Arab American Institute .

A later video showed the distressed Ajlouni being comforted by a Palestinian man��and a member of the Palestinian Red Crescent, who help the man into��an ambulance.��

The attack on Al-Ajlouni was one of a series of attacks by Israeli forces that day.��

Palestinian news agency Wafa reported that the Salem family, who are facing the threat of being forcibly expelled from their homes, were also attacked by Israeli forces.��

Tensions in the area have run high after the leader of the far-right Otzma Yehudit party set up an office on Salem's property.��
