RAMALLAH, Palestine (AA) - Israeli forces injured five Palestinians, including a child, in cities across the occupied West Bank, according to Palestinian authorities.
The Palestinian Red Crescent said teams intervened when five Palestinians were injured by Israeli forces in Bethlehem, Hebron and Nablus.
It specified that three Palestinians were shot with live ammunition, while two sustained injuries from physical assaults.
Among the wounded is a 14-year-old who was shot in the hip by Israeli forces. No further information was provided on the condition of those injured.
Tensions have been running high across the West Bank amid an Israeli military offensive on the Gaza Strip following a cross-border attack by Hamas on Oct. 7.
At least 288 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces and settlers in the West Bank since Oct. 7, in addition to more than 3,100 injured, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry.
