A Palestinian child was injured on Tuesday evening when the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) opened fire at a group of young men near a military checkpoint in eastern Tulkarem.
According to eyewitnesses a 14-year-old child suffered a bullet injury in his thigh during his presence with other young men near the Annab checkpoint in eastern Tulkarem.
