Two teenagers are among three young Palestinians who have been injured by Israeli gunfire during a military raid on Beit Furik town, east of Nablus, in the occupied West Bank, the Wafa news agency reports.

The Palestine Red Crescent Society said that a 17-year-old was shot and wounded while two others — an 18-year-old and a 20-year-old — were hit by bullet fragments during the military raid on the town.

Earlier, a Palestinian man was shot and killed by Israeli forces in the Atouf plain, located to the south of Tubas city. Security sources told Wafa that the victim, identified as Rabi’ Muhammad Daraghmeh, was wounded and left to die by Israeli soldiers who prevented ambulance crews from reaching him to provide medical treatment.

Israeli military arrests were also reported southwest of Jenin where a 65-year-old man, identified as Muhammad Hussein Muhammad Ghawadra, was stopped at a military checkpoint and detained, Wafa reports.

Israeli forces beat a Palestinian man and his wife at a military checkpoint in Hebron’s Old City. After the attack, the man was detained and his wife released, the news agency reports.
