Mohammed has been arrested several times in his young life, and was a focus of a previous Defense of Children International-Palestine report.
Ahmed’s home has been a continuous target of Israeli aggression, and Ahmed himself has often been targeted because of his commitment to the popular resistance and talent for documenting IOF aggression.
A previous IOF invasion of the same home was documented by video and posted here: http://electronicintifada.net/blogs/ali-abunimah/video-heavily-armed-israeli-soldiers-seize-three-children-west-bank-night-raid
