Palestinian journalist injured by Israeli forces in occupied West Bank

A Palestinian journalist was injured Tuesday when Israeli forces fired a gas canister as he was covering an attack by occupiers northwest of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank, according to local sources.

Mutasim Saqf al-Hait, a correspondent for Quds News Network, was struck in the foot by the canister during his coverage of violent clashes between Palestinian youths and Israeli occupiers in the village of Deir Abu Mashal, the sources told Anadolu.

The clashes erupted after Israeli occupiers attacked residents of the village, with army forces raiding the area to provide protection for the occupiers, the sources said.

In a separate incident north of Ramallah, Israeli occupiers grazed their sheep on Palestinian-owned land in the Gharaba area northwest of the town of Sinjil, local sources said.

The incident came amid escalating attacks by Israeli occupiers on Palestinian towns and villages alongside repeated Israeli military raids across the occupied West Bank, often involving live fire, arrests and injuries.
