Israeli forces have intensified the raids in the occupied West Bank’s city of Hebron that we reported on earlier, resulting in the wounding of a young Palestinian man, Wafa news agency reports.

Security sources told the news agency that during the raid in the central areas of Hebron, Israeli soldiers fired live bullets, tear gas and sound grenades at people and shops, hitting a man in the thigh with a bullet, who was transferred to hospital.

Israeli forces also stormed Kafr Qaddum, located east of Qalqiliya. Footage verified by Al Jazeera showed raids taking place in the towns of Sebastia in Nablus and Anabta in Tulkarem.
