HEBRON, June 9, 2018 (WAFA) – A number of Palestinian youths were injured on Saturday during clashes with Israeli forces in the town of Beit Ummar, to the north of the city of Hebron in the occupied West Bank, according to local sources.

Mohammad Awad, an activist, told WAFA that Israeli forces accompanied by police dogs raided and ransacked a few homes in the town, adding that clashes erupted between residents and soldiers who shot rubber bullets, tear gas grenades and stun bombs at them.

He said a 16-year-old teenager was shot with a rubber bullet in the foot, while dozens others suffered from suffocation due to inhaling tear gas.

Soldiers also raided the city of Hebron and the nearby towns of Nouba, Kharas and Beit Kahel, where they searched homes.
