4 Palestinians injured by Israeli army, illegal settlers in occupied West Bank

Four Palestinians were injured Thursday in attacks by the Israeli army and illegal settlers in the occupied West Bank, medics said.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said in a statement that a 12-year-old child was injured in the head by live fire during an Israeli raid in Qalqilya in the northern West Bank. He is in critical condition.

A 26-year-old Palestinian was also shot in his leg and transferred to a hospital for medical attention.

According to the organization, Israeli forces prevented medical teams from reaching the Kafr Saba neighborhood in Qalqilya, and paramedics were assaulted while they were on their way to perform their humanitarian duties.

The Israeli forces later withdrew from the area after the raid that included arrests, and home searches. Damage was reported to Palestinian property in the area.
