RAMALLAH, December 15, 2017 (WAFA) – At least four Palestinians Friday were shot and injured with live ammunition, including one seriously, during clashes that erupted in al-Bireh/Ramallah, as forces suppressed a demonstration condemning US President Donald Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
Forces reportedly opened heavy fire on a Palestinian youth at the northern entrance of al-Bireh, critically injuring him. Israeli police claimed that the youth carried out an alleged stabbing attack, injuring one soldier.
The youth was rushed to hospital in a critical condition.
Three other youths were shot and injured with live ammunition in their lower extremities and were transferred to hospitals in Ramallah for medical treatment.
