The moment Israeli soldiers arrested a Palestinian man in his house was broadcast live on TikTok social media, Monday (13/11).

The incident occurred at Eyad Banat’s house in Hebron, West Bank, in the morning.

Banat and his family, who were watching the news on TV, were suddenly shocked by the appearance of two Israeli soldiers.

Seeing the arrival of Israeli soldiers, one of the Banat family immediately broadcast the moment on TikTok, and the video went viral.

After being interrogated about this, Banat was released and several hours later the six workers he accommodated were arrested.
