Video footage of a 5-year-old Palestinian boy weeping as his father is arrested by Border Police officers near Hebron this week has been making waves internationally and garnering attention from media outlets worldwide.
In the clip, the boy, Khaled Jaber, chases after his father during the latter's arrest, calling out "baba, baba." A Border Police officer approaches the boy, takes him by the arm to separate him from his father, who is driven away from the family home in a police car.
