RAMALLAH, February 20, 2025 (WAFA) – A Palestinian youth was injured by live ammunition in the thigh on Thursday evening during an Israeli military raid on the village of Shuqba, located northwest of Ramallah.

Local sources reported that Israeli forces fired live bullets at a 37-year-old man, wounding him in the thigh. The incident occurred as Israeli soldiers stormed the village and forced citizens out of their shops in the village center for searches. Several residents were subjected to harassment during the raid.

According to the same sources, the soldiers also vandalized several vehicles in the village and intensely fired live ammunition, along with toxic gas and tear gas canisters, toward local homes.

The latest raid is part of a series of Israeli military assaults targeting Palestinian villages and towns in the West Bank. Over the past months, there has been an increase in raids, with Israeli forces frequently raiding villages at night or during the day, conducting searches, and making detentions.
