The security services called Yasser and ordered him to appear with his son, Mohammad, at the Jaffa Gate police station in Jerusalem on Sunday.

In early August, the Tel Aviv regime summoned an 8-year-old girl from the Southern West Bank city of Hebron for interrogation, reported Palestinian security sources.

Israeli forces had earlier summoned four and six-year-old Palestinian children from the occupied East Jerusalem al-Quds neighborhood of al-Issawiya after charging them with throwing stones at Tel Aviv military vehicles.

The age of criminal culpability in Israel — and under Israeli military law, which applies to Palestinians in the West Bank — is 12. The arrest of a minor under the age of 12 is illegal.
