RAMALLAH, April 12, 2019 (WAFA) – Israeli forces dawn Friday detained a Palestinian teen with a third of his skull removed as a result of Israeli gunfire from Nabi Saleh village, northwest of Ramallah.

Muhammad Tamimi, a member of Nabl Saleh’s Anti-Settlement and Wall Committee, told WAFA that Israeli forces assaulted and detained Muhammad Fadel Tamimi, after ransacking his family’s home.

The 16-year-old teen had a third of his skull removed in a surgery after being shot and seriously injured in the head with a rubber-coated steel bullet at close range by Israeli forces in December 2017.

Tamimi added that soldiers assaulted a man with pepper-spray, requiring him to be rushed to a hospital for medical treatment.

He reported medics confirming that the man underwent a catheterization in the aftermath of the assault.
