Two Palestinians were injured by live ammunition tonight after being shot by Israeli occupation soldiers in the town of Beit Ummar, in the southern West Bank province of Hebron, according to local sources.

Mohammad Awad, a local activist in Beit Ummar, told WAFA that Israeli occupation forces stormed the Dhahr neighborhood in the town, triggering confrontations that escalated when soldiers opened fire with live ammunition at local residents.

During the confrontations, a 16-year-old boy sustained injuries from live ammunition shrapnel, while a 20-year-old young man was shot in the foot.
