On Wednesday evening, Israeli soldiers shot a young Palestinian man and caused dozens to suffer the effects of tear gas inhalation in Tarqoumia town, west of Hebron, in the occupied West Bank’s southern part.
Media sources said the soldiers invaded the town and stormed a mourning house set up by the locals out of respect for workers from Gaza whose families and relatives were killed by Israeli missiles due to the constant Israeli bombing of civilians in the coastal region.
The soldiers assaulted many Palestinians and interrogated them, and also invaded apartments and homes where workers from the Gaza Strip are believed to be residing.
The attacks led to protests before the soldiers fired a barrage of live rounds, rubber-coated steel bullets, and gas bombs.
Medical sources have confirmed that the soldiers shot a young man, 27, with a live round in the thigh.
They added that dozens of Palestinians suffered the effects of tear gas inhalation before local medics treated them.
In Tulkarem, in the northwestern West Bank, a paramilitary colonizer shot a young man from Shoufa village after firing live rounds at his car near the entrance of Shoufa village, southeast of the city.
The young man, from Sielat Al-Harithiya, northwest of the northern West Bank city of Jenin, was rushed to a hospital in Tulkarem; his condition has been described as stable.
