Palestinian youth critically injured in zionist Israeli shooting

A Palestinian young man was seriously wounded in Israeli police random shooting at demonstrators in Hizma town to the east of Occupied Jerusalem on Monday evening.

The Palestinian health ministry said that a 26-year-old youth was hit with a rubber bullet in his head and has undergone a surgery, describing his condition as very serious.

Clashes erupted between Israeli occupation police and Palestinians on Monday evening in Alezariye, Issawiye, and the Qalandiya checkpoint.

Tension has been running high in Occupied Jerusalem since July 16 when Israeli occupation authorities installed metal gates at the entrances of the holy Aqsa Mosque, a measure that was refused by the Jerusalemites.
