Teenage activist Aboud Battah beaten and threatened by Israeli forces while detained

Palestinian activist and journalist Aboud Battah, who was abducted by Israeli forces on Friday, posted a video to Instagram sharing his experience of being detained. Israeli forces abducted Battah and his family earlier on Friday, taking him from northern Gaza’s Kamal Adwan Hospital. He said he was beaten and threatened before being released. In the video, he explained that Israeli forces covered their eyes and zip-tied them before they took everyone to a gas station nearby where they started insulting and threatening them. Battah says one of the soldiers recognised him and asked him if he was “the guy who posts on TikTok and talks positively about the resistance and Sinwar”, to which he said he was. The Israeli forces then proceeded to beat and threaten him, saying: “You will not survive this, you will not leave this, this is the end for you.” One of the Israeli soldiers let him go but threatened him by saying they would find him again and kill him next time.
