A Palestinian young man was injured by Israeli gunfire and others suffocated from teargas on Saturday night in an Israeli army raid into the town of Beit Ummar, to the north of Hebron in the south of the West Bank, according to local sources. Mohammad Awad, a local Palestinian activist, said Israeli occupation soldiers directly shot at a 19-year-old teenager while he was working in his father’s grocery store in the town, injuring him with a rubber-coated round in his left foot. Israeli occupation soldiers also fired teargas and stun grenades at local Palestinian residents during the raid, causing many cases of suffocation from gas inhalation, Awad pointed out, adding that the Israeli occupation army shattered the glass facade of a shop in the town.
