HEBRON, May 6, 2018 (WAFA) – At least one Palestinian was shot and injured by rubber-coated metal bullets, while others suffocated from teargas inhalation as Israeli forces raided the town of Beit Ummar, to the north of Hebron in the southern West Bank, on Sunday early morning, according to local sources.
