The PRCS reported that among the injuries were an elderly man (72) who sustained a live gunshot wound to the leg, a 53-year-old man who was shot in the thigh, and another citizen (46) who was shot in the face with live bullet fragments, adding that occupation forces obstructed their ability to reach the wounded.
