A Palestinian man was badly beaten and another detained on Friday after the Israeli military raided the town of Silwad, east of Ramallah, Wafa news agency reported. 

Citing local sources, they said the man sustained injuries and bruises after being seriously beaten by Israeli forces, and was transferred to hospital for treatment.

Another Palestinian was detained during the raid, and his vehicle was seized by the military.

Silwad is close to where Sayfollah Musallet was beaten to death by settlers and the area has become a flash point for clashes between the Israeli military and local Palestinians.
