Late Monday night, Israeli soldiers shot and seriously injured a young Palestinian man and caused many to suffer the effects of tear gas inhalation in Beit Ummar town, north of Hebron, in the southern part of the occupied West Bank.
Local media activist, Mohammad Ayyad Awad, said several army jeeps invaded the town, leading to protests, before the soldiers fired many live rounds, rubber-coated steel bullets, and gas bombs.
Awad added that the soldiers shot a young man, only eighteen years of age, with a live round in the face, causing life-threatening wounds.
The seriously injured young man was rushed to a hospital in Hebron and was instantly admitted to surgery.
The soldiers also caused scores of Palestinians to suffer the effects of tear gas inhalation before the medics provided them with the needed treatment.
