HEBRON, Wednesday, August 07, 2024 (WAFA) – Two Palestinians today sustained injuries from Israeli army gunfire in the southern occupied West Bank city of Hebron, according to WAFA correspondent.
He said Israeli occupation forces stormed the Jabal Abu Rumman neighborhood in Hebron and fired live ammunition and rubber-coated steel bullets towards the neighborhood residents, injuring a 14-year-old minor in the head and a youth in the foot.
The gun-toting soldiers brutally assaulted and detained a youth in the course of the raid.
Israeli occupation forces frequently raid Palestinian houses almost on a daily basis across the West Bank on the pretext of searching for "wanted" Palestinians, triggering clashes with residents.
These raids, which take place also in areas under the full control of the State of Palestine, are conducted with no need for a search warrant, whenever and wherever the military chooses in keeping with its sweeping arbitrary powers.
Under Israeli military law army commanders have full executive, legislative and judicial authority over 3 million Palestinians living in the West Bank. Palestinians have no say in how this authority is exercised.
