Israeli soldier injured by explosion in Hebron

An Israeli soldier was injured by an explosive device in Beit Ummar, after troops stormed a funeral procession in the occupied West Bank town.

Israeli soldiers fired tear gas toward the Palestinians, leading many to choke from tear gas inhalation. 

One Israeli soldier suffered a minor foot during the crackdown, according to Hebrew media reports, and was transferred to Sha'are Tzedek hospital in Jerusalem.

Earlier on Friday morning, Israeli forces arrested a man from the city of Hebron and raided the homes of several Palestinians.

Local sources reported that the occupation forces arrested 20-year-old Ezz Shehadeh while his family were celebrating the success of their son in his high school exams.

The occupation forces also broke into the Al-Shaloudi family's home on Al-Shalala Street in the city center, and threatened to arrest over launching fireworks.
