At least two Palestinians were injured by Israeli gunfire during an army raid on several towns in the West Bank, while illegal settlers attacked Palestinians and their properties in various other areas of the West Bank, Anadolu reports.

In the northern West Bank, the army raided the town of Beit Fourik, east of Nablus, leading to clashes with residents, eyewitnesses told Anadolu.

Palestinian Red Crescent teams treated two children, age 16 and 14, who were injured in their legs by live ammunition during clashes that erupted following the raid on the town, the group said in a statement.

The army also raided the city of Qalqilya, leading to clashes with residents during which the army used live ammunition and tear gas, according to eyewitnesses.
