Four teenagers have been wounded in two different raids in the occupied West Bank, Al Jazeera reports, citing the Wafa news agency.

Israeli forces shot and injured two 16-year-olds in their thighs and one in his leg in the town of Beit Ummar, near the city of Hebron. They were transferred to hospitals nearby for treatment, the report added.

In the same town, the soldiers also arrested an 18-year-old and her father and opened fire on worshippers at a mosque there, Wafa reported.

In a separate raid on the Balata refugee camp, near the city of Nablus, Israeli forces shot a 15-year-old in the foot. He was also taken to hospital.
