7 Palestinians injured as IOF storms Ramallah

Saturday 12-January-2019

At least seven Palestinians were injured on Saturday evening when the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) raided Ramallah city.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced in a statement that seven Palestinians were injured by Israeli gunfire.

The Ministry said that one of the wounded was hit by a rubber-coated metal bullet to the eye and described his injury as “moderate”.

Local residents said that the IOF broke into several buildings in the city and seized their surveillance camera recordings.

They added that the IOF heavily fired live ammunition rubber-coated metal bullets and teargas canisters at the Palestinian youths who took to the streets to confront the raid.

The IOF over the past week has conducted daily raids into Ramallah and al-Bireh cities in search for Palestinians allegedly involved in a shooting attack on an Israeli bus near Beit El checkpoint.
