Two Palestinians injured by Israeli gunfire in West Bank raid
Two Palestinians were injured late Thursday after Israeli forces opened fire during a raid in the town of Kafr Aqab
RAMALLAH, Palestine (MNTV) — Two Palestinians were injured late Thursday after Israeli forces opened fire during a raid in the town of Kafr Aqab, north of Jerusalem, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent Society.
The group said its teams treated two people wounded by live bullets — one struck below the knee and another, a 17-year-old boy, shot in the foot — as Israeli troops stormed the area.
Witnesses told the official Palestinian news agency WAFA that Israeli police and soldiers chased several youths and fired live rounds and stun grenades, while also closing main roads and restricting residents’ movement.
The raid came just hours after Israeli forces killed a Palestinian man in Qabatiya, south of Jenin, and a Palestinian child who was playing football in the village of Ar-Rihiya, near Hebron.
Local authorities say that since the Gaza war began in October 2023, Israeli forces have killed more than 1,000 Palestinians in the West Bank, injured around 10,000, and detained over 20,000 people — including 1,600 children.
In a landmark opinion issued in July, the International Court of Justice ruled that Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory is illegal and urged the evacuation of all settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
