On Sunday, Israeli forces shot and injured six Palestinian young men, one critically, and abducted one of the wounded men, and a former prisoner, in the town of Aqaba, north of Tubas in the northeastern part of the West Bank.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said their ambulance crews transported five wounded young men to the Tubas Turkish Governmental Hospital.
Ambulance crews transported one young man who sustained a critical gunshot wound to the chest, and another who sustained a live bullet wound to the thigh, while soldiers obstructed their work.
The PRCS added that occupation forces provided first aid to a young man who sustained several live gunshot wounds, before soldiers abducted him and took him to an unknown location; his condition was not known at the time of writing this report.
Media sources said that Israeli forces invaded the town of Aqaba at dawn Sunday and besieged the home of the former prisoner, Qutaiba Al-Shawish, detaining his wife and mother in an attempt to coerce him to turn himself in.
According to Kamal Bani Oda, the director of the Palestinian Prisoners’ Society (PPS) in Tubas, said that occupation forces abducted the former prisoner, Qutaiba Al-Shawish, after releasing attack dogs against him.
It is important to mention that Al-Shawish is the son of Khaled al-Shawish, who was a detainee who died in occupation prison.
The Arab 48 website reported that armed Palestinian resistance fighters of the Tubas Battalion, associated with the Al-Quds Brigades exchanged heavy fire with the invading army.
It added that an undercover Israeli unit infiltrated the town, followed by reinforcements, including a military bulldozer.
