Two Palestinians injured by Israeli gunfire near Qalqilia

Two Palestinian young men were injured by Israeli gunfire this evening near the town of Hableh, to the south of Qalqilia in the occupied West Bank, according to local sources. The sources told WAFA that two Palestinian young men from the town of Beit Furik in Nablus province were shot and injured by Israeli occupation soldiers as they approached the Israeli segregation barrier, which is adjacent to the town of Hableh. The two were rushed to a nearby hospital, where their condition was described as moderate. Palestinian workers in the occupied West Bank usually opt for alternative routes to avoid overcrowding at major Israeli checkpoints in their daily journey to their workplaces inside Israel and in their way back home, and are often attacked by Israeli soldiers whenever they try to cross the Israeli segregation barrier.
