JENIN, Saturday, July 13, 2024 (WAFA) – Israeli occupation forces Saturday evening shot a Palestinian near the Jalameh military checkpoint, northeast of the occupied West Bank city of Jenin, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS).

PRCS said that its crews provided first aid treatment to a Palestinian who sustained a live gunfire injury after being shot by the occupation forces near the permanently staffed checkpoint, and evacuated him to a hospital.

Israel severely restricts Palestinians’ freedom of movement through a complex combination of over 100 fixed checkpoints, flying checkpoints, settler-only roads and various other physical obstructions.

Closures besides other measures, taken under the guise of security, are intended to entrench Israel’s 57-year-old military occupation of the West Bank and its settler colonial project which it enforces with routine and frequently deadly violence against Palestinians.
