August 29, 2021

WEST BANK- On Saturday night, a Palestinian youth was wounded by Israeli occupation forces' bullets, during the storming of "Husan" village, west of Bethlehem, south of the occupied West Bank.

The occupation forces stormed the Al Muteena area in Husan, and confrontations erupted with Palestinian youths, local sources reported. 

During the incursion, the Israeli occupation soldiers fired live bullets, tear gas, and sound bombs, wounding a young man with a live bullet in the thigh without specifying his health condition, the sources added. 

The occupation has recently escalated its colonial attack on the village of Husan, through the incursions of its soldiers and settlers into the village, as it is adjacent to the settlement of 'Beitar Illit', which is built on the lands of the towns of Husan, Wadi Fukin, and Nahalin in Bethlehem.

Separate areas of the West Bank and occupied Jerusalem have been witnessing daily incursions and citizens’ detention, terrorizing the people, women, and children.
