Israeli Troops Injure Palestinian with Live Round in Bethlehem

BETHLEHEM, December 8, 2015 (WAFA) – At least one Palestinian was injured with live ammunition during clashes with Israeli troops, which erupted at the northern entrance of Bethlehem, according to medical sources.

The Palestinian Red Crescent (PRC) said a youth was injured with a live bullet in his leg, and was transferred to nearby Beit Jala public hospital for medical treatment. The youth’s injury was described as moderate.

Meanwhile, three other Palestinians suffocated due to inhaling excessive teargas, which was used by the Israeli military against Palestinian protesters at the scene.

At least 117 Palestinians, including 25 children and four women, have been killed by Israeli fire since the beginning of unrest in the West Bank early October 2015.
