A Palestinian youth was shot and injured today by Israeli terror settler militias in the village of Khirbet Tana, located on the outskirts of the town of Beit Furik in the West Bank province of Nablus, according to local and medical sources.

The sources reported to WAFA that a 30-year-old young man was shot with live ammunition in the thigh when settlers opened fire on him while he was present in the village. He was subsequently transported to hospital for medical treatment.

The incident adds to the ongoing challenges faced by Palestinians living in areas adjacent to colonial Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank.
