Settler Opens Fire in Beit Ummar Amidst Occupation Forces’ Raid

Beit Ummar:A violent incident unfolded on Friday evening in Beit Ummar, north of Hebron, when an armed settler opened fire on young men in the Abu al-Tuq area, near the town's entrance. This was followed by a raid by occupation forces, resulting in several citizens suffering from suffocation due to tear gas.

According to Maan News Agency, the armed settler stormed the Abu Al-Touq area and discharged live ammunition at the young men present. Fortunately, no injuries were reported from the gunfire.

Following the initial shooting, occupation forces entered the town center, deploying tear gas and stun grenades, leading to numerous suffocation cases among the residents. In the Asida area, the situation escalated further as forces fired rubber bullets in addition to gas and sound bombs. This resulted in additional suffocation cases, with shop owners being forced to close and citizens restricted from moving freely within the town.
