QALQILIA, Saturday, September 21, 2019 (WAFA) – At least six Palestinians were injured by Israeli forces today during an Israeli army raid of the town of Azzun, near the city of Qalqilia in the occupied West Bank, according to local sources.

Mohammad Radwan, a local activist, told WAFA that clashes erupted shortly after Israeli forces raided the town and embarked on a large-scale search campaign. He said the soldiers fired live bullets and rubber-coated rounds at the protesters to disperse them, injuring six, two of them by live gunshots.

Radwan added that the wounded were treated at the scene by local medics.

During the raid, he continued, the soldiers encircled a mosque in the town and prevented worshipers from attending the sunset prayer.
