The soldiers also took his cameras, and tried to smash them, according to local sources.
The incident took place after the soldiers invaded the village, and destroyed a flagpole where a Palestinian flag was raised.
The soldiers fired several gas bombs, rubber-coated metal bullets and concussion grenades at several homes in the village, causing dozens of residents to suffer the effects of tear gas inhalation.
