Israeli forces shot and injured, on Saturday, two Palestinians, including a child, in the northwestern occupied West Bank village of Kufur Qaddoum, east of Qalqilia, according to local sources.

During the weekly anti-settlement March in the village, Palestinian young men gathered to demonstrate against the Israeli colonization of Palestine.

Soldiers attacked the non-violent protesters with rubber-coated steel rounds and tear gas canisters, shooting and injuring two civilians.

Media sources said that a 15-year-old child was shot in the head with a steel bullet, while a 22-year-old was shot in the shoulder.

No information was available with regards to the condition of wounded individuals at the time of writing this report.

On Friday, soldiers attacked the weekly procession, shooting four Palestinians with rubber-coated steel rounds, and causing dozens more to sustain inhalation injuries due to tear gas exposure.
