Sunday 21-June-2020

Three Palestinian young men were wounded in al-Mughir village to the east of Ramallah in the West Bank on Saturday night during an Israeli occupation army raid on the village.

The Palestinian Red Crescent society said that the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) fired rubber-coated bullets and teargas on Palestinian youths in the village injuring three of them one of whom was hit in the head.

It added that many were treated for gas suffocation as the IOF heavily fired teargas bombs on citizens and their homes.

The village is a permanent target for the IOF raids in a bid to scare off its inhabitants. It is surrounded by four Jewish-only settlements and an army base.

The Israeli occupation authorities ban construction on 80% of the village area and prohibit inhabitants from reaching its eastern area claiming that it is a closed military zone.
