A Palestinian boy was shot and injured by the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) early Thursday morning at an eastern Bethlehem checkpoint in the southern West Bank.
A PIC news correspondent quoted Red Crescent sources as stating that the IOF opened fire at a car driving near Mazmouriya checkpoint to the east of Bethlehem on claims that it did not obey the soldiers’ stop-orders.
Palestinian young man Moussa Mohamed Moussa from al-Khalil’s Yatta town was hit with a live bullet in his knee.
The injured youth was rushed to the Beit Jala public hospital so as to be urgently treated for the wounds inflicted by the Israeli bullet fire.
The youngster reportedly kept bleeding for a long while as a result of the bullet that penetrated his knee.
