Seed of controversy: Palestinian women and youths scuffle with an Israeli soldier trying to arrest a 12-year-old boy during a protest Friday near the West Bank village of Nebi Saleh. A video showing the incident has been viewed more than 2 million times on Facebook, and shined a light on Israeli military policies in the territory. The Israeli military said Sunday a “violent riot” broke out at the protest and it tried to detain the boy because he was hurling rocks. The video sparked accusations from critics that Israel is too heavy-handed in its confrontations with Palestinian protesters, especially minors.
