An 18-year-old Palestinian was shot and injured by Israeli forces in the town of Beita, south of Nablus, and a 21-year-old was shot in the head and killed during an overnight raid on the town of Salim, east of Nablus, according to Al Jazeera.

The Wafa news agency, citing local sources, reported that Israeli forces also fired tear gas and beat several Palestinians, causing injuries in confrontations during a raid on a home in Al Raihiya in southern Hebron.

The Palestinian Media Centre, citing local sources, reported that the Israeli military has opened fire in the Nur Shams refugee camp as well and large explosions have been heard in the area, AL Jazeera added.

It further quoted the Palestinian Media Centre as saying that Israeli forces have stormed Tuqu, a town southeast of Bethlehem; Al-Walaja village, west of Bethlehem; Kirbet Qalqas in the city of Hebron; and the Kafr Saba neighbourhood of Qalqilya.
