On Tuesday, Israeli soldiers shot a Palestinian child with a rubber-coated steel bullet in Silwad town, east of Ramallah, in the central part of the occupied West Bank.
Media sources said several army vehicles invaded the western area of the town, leading to protests before the soldiers fired many rubber-coated steel bullets, gas bombs, and concussion grenades.
They added that the soldiers shot a child, 12, with a rubber-coated steel bullet in the head and caused many Palestinians to suffer the effects of tear gas inhalation.
The child was rushed to a local clinic and received the needed treatment; his condition has been described as stable.
On Monday, the soldiers invaded Silwad, chased many schoolchildren while heading back home, and fired many gas bombs at them at the main junction of the town.
Silwad has been subject to repeated invasions and violations, including severe restrictions on the freedom of movement, especially after the army killed Mojahed Mahmoud Hamed, 32, on December 07, 2022.
