On Thursday evening, Israeli soldiers invaded Nabi Saleh village, northwest of the central West Bank city of Ramallah, leading to protests before shooting two siblings, including a child.

Bilal Tamimi, a senior nonviolent activist against the illegal Annexation Wall and Colonies in Nabi Saleh, said the soldiers fired many live rounds, rubber-coated steel bullets, sponge-tipped bullets, and gas bombs.

Tamimi said the soldiers shot a Palestinian with a sponge-tipped bullet in the head, and his brother, only 14 years old, in the arm.

Tamimi added that the Palestinian, who was shot in the head, was rushed to a hospital in Ramallah, where his wounds have been described as moderate to severe.

His wounded brother suffered mild wounds before receiving treatment at the local clinic in Nabi Saleh.
