At least 14 Palestinians and two foreign journalists were injured on August 29 in attacks by Israeli forces and illegal occupiers across the occupied West Bank, said an Anadolu report citing officials and medics.
Abdel Azim Wadi, the mayor of Qusra in the northern West Bank, said dozens of occupiers attacked a Palestinian home in the town’s Ras al-Ain area, firing tear gas and hurling stones.Around seven people were injured inside and around the house, mostly from tear gas inhalation, and were treated at the scene, he said.
Wadi said a siege imposed by illegal occupiers around three houses in the town has continued for the 21st consecutive day, leaving the families struggling to obtain food, water and other daily necessities.In the nearby Jalud town, occupiers attacked a Palestinian family and two foreign journalists accompanying them, local sources told Anadolu.
A Palestinian man and his wife suffered bruises and were taken to a hospital for treatment, while the two journalists sustained wounds, after being severely beaten by the occupiers, the report said.
Earlier, The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said in a statement that its crews treated two people wounded by Israeli army fire in the Al-Amari refugee camp in Al-Bireh, the central West Bank.One of those injured was a 15-year-old child, while the other, a young man, was shot in the foot, it said, adding that both were transferred to a hospital.
