Khedir, father of Al-Tewil, said despite his medical condition, he was known for wandering the streets of the city.

"He is well-known among the residents of Al-Khalil [Hebron] and among most of the Israeli soldiers in the Old City," he said.

"Despite the army's awareness of his condition, they nevertheless detained and beat him," he added.
