Israeli forces wound Palestinian teen with shrapnel in Tulkarm raid

A Palestinian youth was hit by live-fire shrapnel to the head during an Israeli operation in Tulkarm, while settlers shot a man in Beit Ummar.

During an Israeli raid on central Tulkarm, a large military contingent surrounded Jamal Abdel Nasser Square, detaining several young men and using stun grenades and tear gas. A teenager suffered a head injury from live-fire shrapnel. In a separate incident, Israeli settlers opened fire on a Palestinian man in Beit Ummar, north of Hebron, causing injuries.

Why it matters
