A Palestinian youth was injured by Israeli gunfire last night during confrontations in the town of Beit Ummar, to the north of Hebron, according to local sources.
Mohammad Awad, a local Palestinian activist, told WAFA that a youth was injured by an Israeli live shot in his foot during confrontations between Israeli occupation forces and local Palestinian residents.
Two other Palestinians were also hit by rubber-coated rounds, and many others suffered suffocation from teargas inhalation.
The confrontations broke out amid protests in the town demanding the Israeli occupation authorities to hand over the body of Ahed Ikhlail, a Palestinian from the town who was killed by the Israeli occupation forces two years ago.
