OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)--

Israeli occupation soldiers manning the Container road barrier east of occupied Jerusalem beat up a Palestinian youth on Friday night, local sources said.

They said that the soldiers manning the block detained the 19-year-old youth Ghaith Khair then severely beat him up at the pretext he did not obey their orders.

Meanwhile, media sources said that the Israeli police raised the level of alert along the Akka beaches, occupied in 1948, after a warning on the presence of possible explosive devices in the area.

The police ordered hotel owners along the beach and fishermen in the same area to be extremely cautious.

The Israeli authorities had closed the southern beaches last week after finding two explosive devices attached to a floating barrel that were drifting toward the Ashdod and Ashkelon beaches.
