A 16-year-old child was shot by Israeli occupation forces, Saturday evening, in the town of Beit Ummar, north of Hebron.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society reported that its crews transferred a child to the hospital from the town of Beit Ummar who had been shot with live ammunition in the thigh.

According to local sources, the occupation forces stormed the Al-Dahr area in the town and climbed onto the roof of a house, which led to the outbreak of clashes during which the soldiers fired bullets and tear gas canisters, which resulted in a child being injured by live bullets, and dozens of citizens suffering from suffocation, who were treated in the field.
