RAMALLAH, Sunday, April 7, 2024 (WAFA) - A Palestinian young man was shot and critically injured by Israeli occupation forces late last night as they raided several neighborhoods in the city of Ramallah, in the central occupied West Bank.

Simultaneously, a Palestinian young woman was arrested during the offensive, according to local sources.

WAFA correspondent reported that the young man, Bashar Wahba, was shot in the head by the Israeli forces while he was on the roof of his home in the Ein Misbah neighborhood in the city. Health sources described his condition as critical.

The Israeli raid into Ramallah saw more than 15 military vehicles storm several neighborhoods in the city, conducting raids and searches of several homes amidst confrontations with groups of local young men.

The offensive focused on the Al-Irsal neighborhood, Ain Misbah Street, and Ramallah at-Tehta neighborhood, where confrontations erupted with Israeli occupation forces firing live ammunition, rubber-coated bullets, sound bombs, and tear gas at local Palestinian protesters.

Eyewitnesses reported that Israeli forces deliberately fired at Bashar Wahba while he was on the roof of his house, resulting in him being shot in the head.

He was subsequently transferred to the Ramallah Medical Complex, where his condition was described as critical.

Meanwhile, the occupation forces arrested Layan Kayed, a postgraduate student at Birzeit University and a former prisoner in Israeli jails, after raiding her home on Ain Misbah Street.
