HEBRON, February 12, 2025 (WAFA) – A Palestinian youth Wednesday sustained an injury by Israeli army gunfire in al-Fawwar refugee camp, south of the occupied West Bank city of Hebron, according to WAFA correspondent.

He said that Israeli occupying forces barged their way into the refugee camp, deploying on main streets and in the vicinity of civilians’ houses simultaneously while opening live ammunition.

The occupying forces broke into several houses, using them as military bases and sniping positions.

During ensuing confrontations, the gun-toting soldiers fired live ammunition and tear gas canisters toward local protestors, injuring a youth with a live round in the foot.

The casualty, 23, was rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment.

Meanwhile, the occupation forces conducted a raid in Osrin town, south of Nablus, and fired barrages of tear gas canisters, resulting in several suffocation cases.

The occupation forces frequently raid Palestinian houses almost daily across the West Bank on the pretext of searching for “wanted” Palestinians, triggering clashes with residents.

These raids 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.
