Hebron: Three Palestinian children, aged 14, 16, and 16, sustained injuries from live Israeli gunfire during a military raid in the center of Hebron, located in the southern part of the occupied West Bank. The incident occurred as Israeli forces secured the entry of colonists into an archaeological site in the area.
According to Palestine News and Information Agency - WAFA, a large contingent of Israeli occupation forces stormed the Bab al-Zawiya neighborhood and the adjacent Beer al-Sabe' Street in the heart of Hebron. The forces were providing protection for groups of Israeli colonists entering a nearby historical site.
The area was completely sealed off by the forces, blocking the movement of residents and vehicles. Shop owners in the vicinity were compelled to close their businesses, and citizens were dispersed using live ammunition and tear gas.
The three injured children were shot in the legs and subsequently transferred to Hebron Governmental Hospital. Medical sources have described their injuries as moderate.
