The West Bank.. "Serious" injury to a Palestinian child from Israeli army gunfire

A Palestinian child was injured "seriously" after the Israeli army fired live ammunition during its incursion on Tuesday evening into the town of Yamoun, west of the city of Jenin in the northern occupied West Bank.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society stated in a statement that its teams in Jenin transported to the hospital "a serious injury to a 14-year-old child from live bullets in the head."

According to Palestine TV (government), the Israeli army stormed the town of Yamoun, deployed its forces in its streets, and conducted searches of residents' vehicles.

Activists also published videos of the Israeli army's presence in the town, one of which documents the arrest and mistreatment of a Palestinian young man.

During the years of genocide in Gaza, the army and settlers escalated their attacks, resulting in the deaths of at least 1,076 Palestinians and injuries to about 10,760 others, in addition to the arrest of more than 20,500 others, as of Tuesday, according to official data.

A ceasefire agreement ended an Israeli genocide campaign in Gaza that began on October 8, 2023, leaving more than 69,000 Palestinian dead and over 170,000 injured, most of whom are children and women, with reconstruction costs estimated by the United Nations at around $70 billion.
