Israeli occupation forces shot and injured a young Palestinian man and severely assaulted another on Monday in the towns of Ethna and Beit Ulla in the southern part of the occupied West Bank.
Medical sources said the soldiers shot a young man in his twenties in the leg with live ammunition while he was near the illegal Annexation Wall in the Wadi Al‑Kheil area of Ethna, west of Hebron. Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) medics transported him to hospital, where his condition was described as moderate.
In Beit Ulla, northwest of Hebron, Israeli forces invaded the town, closed several roads with earth mounds, searched multiple homes, and assaulted Sakhr Al‑Ajouri, causing bruises and contusions. PRCS medics transferred him to hospital for treatment.
The army also blocked the rugged access routes connecting Ethna to Route 35 with earth barriers, further restricting Palestinian movement in the area.
In the village of Susiya, in the Yatta area south of Hebron, Israeli forces detained teacher Khader Al‑Nawaj’a for an hour while he was on his way to Palestine Mixed Elementary School in Khirbet Ashkara in Masafer Yatta.
At dawn on Monday, Israeli soldiers invaded several areas across the West Bank, abducting at least 64 Palestinians, demolishing a residential room, confiscating vehicles, and imposing widespread movement restrictions through military roadblocks and road closures.
