HEBRON (Ma'an) -- Israeli forces on Wednesday detained a Youth Against Settlements coordinator in the West Bank city of Hebron, relatives said.

Issa Amro was detained on Shuhada Street in Hebron's Old City while leading a tour for international visitors, his brother Ahmad told Ma'an.

Shuhada Street, a main road in Hebron's once-bustling center, has been closed to Palestinians since an Israeli settler shot dead 29 Palestinians worshiping in Ibrahimi mosque in 1994.

An Israeli military spokeswoman said soldiers did not arrest Amro.

A spokesman for Israel's border police, who also operate in the area, could not immediately be reached for comment.
