On Saturday, Israeli soldiers shot a Palestinian child in the town of Beit Furik, east of Nablus, in the northern part of the occupied West Bank. The soldiers also kidnapped three children and left them tied to trees.
Media sources reported that the soldiers invaded the town and closed streets before stopping and interrogating several Palestinians, which led to protests.
They added that the soldiers fired live rounds, rubber-coated steel bullets, and gas bombs at the Palestinians.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) stated that the soldiers shot a 13-year-old child in the thigh with a live round. PRCS medics rushed the child to a hospital for treatment.
The PRCS also reported that the soldiers attacked its ambulances and obstructed their path while they were trying to reach the wounded child.
Additionally, undercover Israeli soldiers infiltrated the western area of the town and kidnapped three children. The families of the children searched for over an hour before finding them tied to olive trees.
In related news, the soldiers invaded the town of Tuqu, southeast of Bethlehem, and closed off the western area.
They fired gas bombs and concussion grenades to force Palestinians to leave. Palestinian medics treated several individuals for tear gas inhalation.
Furthermore, the soldiers invaded the town of Ethna, west of the southern West Bank city of Hebron, and closed streets, particularly in the town’s commercial area, before firing gas bombs.
