Five Palestinian young men were injured two of them seriously on Monday morning when the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) opened fire at them during violent raids in the West Bank and Jerusalem.
According to the Palestinian health ministry two young men were evacuated from Yamun town in critical condition to Ibn Sina Hospital in Jenin. Doctors pronounced one of them as clinically dead.
A large number of Israeli troops stormed in the morning Tamun town west of Jenin and raided several homes which provoked confrontations with dozens of local youths.
The soldiers reportedly fired live and rubber bullet at the young men and showered them with tear gas canisters as they rallied in the town’s streets and started to hurl stones at them.
Video footage showed the two wounded young men lying motionless on the ground before the IOF decided to detain them and later allowed a Palestinian ambulance crew to evacuate them.
In Ramallah two other young men were injured by IOF gunfire during clashes with local youths in Qarawat Bani Zeid village.
The IOF also kidnaped a young man identified as Abdul-Ghani Hajiji after ransacking his home in the village.
In east Jerusalem one young man suffered a bullet injury when Israeli police forces opened fire at him and others during clashes in at-Tur town.
The IOF had kidnaped last night and at dawn Monday 14 Palestinian citizens in the West Bank.
Local sources said that the IOF kidnaped nine citizens from Bethlehem one from Tamun town in Tubas and four others from Ramallah.
Another citizen was kidnaped during the renewed police raid on the Aqsa Mosque in the morning.
