The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) stated that its medics treated the young man for a gunshot wound before moving him to a hospital; his wounds have been described as moderate.

Also Saturday, Israeli soldiers demolished 58 Palestinian homes in Tulkarem refugee camp, in Tulkarem, in the occupied West Bank’s northwestern part, as part of an ongoing plan to remove the Palestinians from it.
The WAFA Palestinian News Agency reported that Israeli military bulldozers continued this morning to demolish dozens of residential buildings in the Tulkarem refugee camp for the second consecutive day, as part of a larger plan to demolish 106 buildings in both Tulkarem and Nur Shams refugee camps, including 58 buildings in Tulkarem refugee camp alone.
This includes more than 250 housing units and dozens of commercial establishments concentrated in the Balawna and Okasha neighborhoods.
The ongoing military offensive has resulted in the killing of 13 civilians, including a child and two women, one of whom was eight months pregnant. Dozens have been injured or abducted, while widespread destruction has affected infrastructure, homes, businesses, and vehicles.
Recent reports indicate that the escalation has displaced more than 5,000 families from the refugee camps, totaling over 25,000 people.
At least 400 homes have been destroyed, while 2,573 others have sustained partial damage.
The refugee camps remain largely inaccessible, with entrances blocked by barriers, leaving them nearly devoid of life.

The head of the Popular Committee for Tulkarem Camp told Al Jazeera Mubasher that Israeli forces have carried out targeted killings in the camp, describing the demolitions, killings, and forced displacement as a humanitarian catastrophe.
