Israeli forces shoot, injure Palestinian in West Bank

Israeli forces have shot and injured a Palestinian man in the town of Nablus in the occupied West Bank.

A Palestinian security source said that the 20-year-old Palestinian was shot on Sunday, adding that he was hit in the legs and transferred to a Palestinian hospital.

Israeli sources claimed that the gunfire came after the Palestinian threw Molotov cocktails at a police car near the village of Hawara.

On March 22, Israeli troops killed three Palestinians in a nighttime attack in the Jenin refugee camp in the West Bank.

On March 10, a Palestinian man was shot and killed by Israeli forces at the border crossing between West Bank and Jordan.

Earlier, on February 28, Israeli forces attacked thousands of Palestinians mourning the death of a man killed by Israeli soldiers in the West Bank town of Birzeit. Five people were injured in the attack.

The West Bank has been under Israeli military occupation since 1967. There are hundreds of checkpoints in the West Bank, which have made life difficult for the Palestinians.

On Saturday, the Palestinian Authority (PA) Minister of Social Affairs Kamal al-Sharafi said Israeli forces have killed 1,520 Palestinian children and wounded 6,000 more over the past fourteen years.
