A Palestinian child was wounded by Israeli army gunfire late Friday during a military raid south of Bethlehem in the Occupied West Bank, as Israeli forces carried out incursions across the southern part of the territory.

Sources told Anadolu that Israeli forces entered Beit Fajjar and deployed in the Al-Muthallath area before opening live fire, wounding a 15-year-old boy in the foot.

Elsewhere in the Bethlehem governorate, Israeli forces raided the nearby town of Al-Khader, deploying in the Al-Bawaba area and along the Jerusalem-Hebron Road. No arrests or house raids were immediately reported.

In the Hebron governorate, Israeli forces also stormed the village of Al-Majd, west of Dura, firing tear gas and stun grenades while operating in the area.

The army also raided the town of Deir Samet, west of Dura, deploying troops throughout the town. No arrests or injuries were immediately reported.
