Two Youths Injured In IOF Shooting, One Seriously
A Palestinian teen was seriously injured near Gush Etzion settlement to the north of Al-Khalil after Israeli occupation forces (IOF) fired at him.
Medical sources said that the 17-year-old youth Salah Zaghir was seriously wounded in his abdomen after an Israeli soldier fired at him near a bus stop for settlers after “suspecting” that he was carrying a knife and that he would use it to stab a settler.
Other sources said that the IOF closed the Bethlehem-Al-Khalil road and took the youth to Hadassah hospital where his condition was described as “serious”, but denied that he was dead.
In a related incident, a Palestinian youth was shot and injured east of Qarara town in Khan Younis, south of the Gaza Strip.
The PIC reporter said that Wahid Abu Zir, 22, was hit with a bullet in his leg in the indiscriminate shooting by IOF soldiers at residential quarters.
