A colonial Israeli settler shot and injured two Palestinian brothers with live ammunition, near the Hizma military checkpoint, northeast of occupied Jerusalem on Friday evening.

Local sources reported that a traffic accident occurred between two vehicles, one carrying two Jerusalemites, and the second, carrying a settler. As a result, an argument erupted between them.

The sources added that the argument escalated into the settler shooting and wounding the two young men identified as, Jawad and Muhammad Abu Khadija, from occupied Jerusalem.
