Medical sources have reported that one Palestinian was shot and injured by Israeli army fire, on Sunday evening, near Kafr Qassem military roadblock, close to the Zawiya village, west of the occupied West Bank city of Salfit. The soldiers also kidnapped one Palestinian, north of Al Khalil.

The sources said the Palestinian, identified as Ahmad No’man ‘Awwad, 34, from Series town south of Jenin, was shot with two live rounds in the shoulder and arm, suffering a moderate injury, before he was moved to the Beilinson Hospital.

The Israeli army claimed that the soldiers shot ‘Awwad when he “attempted to cross into Israeli-controlled lands, behind the roadblock,” but did not provide further information on the incident.

The Palestinian, Ayesh Nasser Ekhlayyel, 20, from Beit Ummar town north of Al Khalil, was summoned for interrogation in Etzion, and was taken prisoner after he headed there.
