On Saturday, Israeli occupation forces engaged in their daily invasion of Palestinian land throughout the West Bank, injuring a child and abducting several Palestinians after ransacking their homes.
These invasions are a daily occurrence in the West Bank, one of the two Occupied Palestinian Territories that are ruled by the Israeli military. All Palestinian residents of the West Bank (including Jerusalem) live under Israeli martial law, and have no legal rights.
During an invasion of Al-Arroub refugee camp, north of Hebron, Israeli forces shot a 12-year old boy with live ammunition. The child, Amir Mohammad Al-Bass (12 years old), was hit with two bullets in his lower extremities. He lay on the ground, not moving, until the Israeli troops abducted him.
