Saturday 28-March-2020

Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Saturday evening wounded four Palestinian citizens and arrested six others during raids on different West Bank areas.

Two Palestinians were injured by rubber-coated metal bullets and three others were detained as the IOF raided a Palestinian village in the West Bank province of al-Khalil.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said that the IOF stormed At-Tuwani village and attacked Palestinian residents with rubber-coated metal bullets and tear gas canisters.

Israeli settlers also attacked the village’s shepherds with stones and chased them in the area while protected by IOF soldiers who fired tear gas canisters and stun grenades to ensure the settlers’ safety.

Meanwhile two Palestinian youths were injured and two others were arrested when the IOF raided Kafr Qaddum village in Qalqilya province.

Popular resistance activist Murad Shtewi said that the IOF violently stormed Kafr Qaddum and heavily showered Palestinian homes with tear gas canisters rubber-coated metal bullets and stun grenades.

A number of Palestinians choked on tear gas and were treated in the field and two were wounded by rubber-coated metal bullets.

Two brothers aged 13 and 14 were kidnapped by the IOF during the attack.

A sixth Palestinian was arrested near his home during a raid on al-Isawiya village east of Occupied Jerusalem.
