Israeli police detained 14 Palestinians in Jerusalem on Friday at demonstrations to mark Land Day, officials said. Palestinian Authority Minister for Jerusalem Affairs Hatem Abdul Qader was among the 14 detained, said prisoner society director in Jerusalem Naser Qaws. He was released after several hours, Qaws said. The detainees were taken to the Russian Compound where they were beaten by Israeli officers, he added. Israeli police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld told Ma'an that 14 Palestinians were detained in Jerusalem for throwing stones at police. One officer was lightly injured, he added. On Land Day, Palestinians commemorate the killing of six protesters in 1976 during demonstrations against Israeli plans to confiscate land in the Galilee.
