Six Palestinian youths were wounded by live Israeli fire, one seriously, during an army raid on Tuesday of the town of Tubas, northwest of the occupied West Bank.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said occupation forces stormed Tubas, triggering clashes with stone-throwing local youth, during which soldiers fired live rounds and tear gas. The injured, including a youth who was shot in the chest and was in a serious condition, were taken to the local public hospital.
The Israeli army also staged search-and-arrest raids into a number of West Bank towns, and arrested 17 Palestinians, as troops continued to blockade Burqa village, west of the city of Nablus, for the second day in a row.
In the southern West Bank, the Committee to Resist the Wall and Settlements said that the occupation forces demolished a 150-square-meter, two-storey house south of Hebron.
Meantime, an Israeli court issued an order to demolish the Sur Baher Sports Club in occupied East Jerusalem under the pretext it was built without a permit. Local Palestinians said the Israeli measure is part of a campaign targeting national Palestinian institutions and symbols in Jerusalem.
