The family of Palestinian protester Ahed Tamimi said on Monday that her younger brother and cousin had been arrested in an overnight raid of their central West Bank village.

Ahed’s father Bassem Tamimi told AP that soldiers broke in early Monday and arrested 15-year-old Mohammed. He said the boy had broken his arm over the weekend while running from tear gas during protests in their village of Nabi Saleh.

Bassem suspected Mohammed had been detained for throwing stones at IDF soldiers. Ahed’s cousin Mu’ayyid was arrested in a separate home raid in the town.
