Israeli forces wound Palestinian in Jaba' south of Jenin
A young man was shot in the thigh in Jaba', and Palestinian medics treated him after he was received from a local medical center.
Israeli forces shot and wounded a Palestinian in the town of Jaba', south of Jenin, on Friday evening, the official Palestinian news agency WAFA reported.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said its crews treated a young man with a live bullet wound to the thigh after receiving him from a medical center in the town.
Local sources said Israeli forces forced their way into the town and fired live ammunition and tear gas canisters, injuring the young man.
The report said Israeli forces raid Palestinian homes almost daily across the West Bank, searching for people it describes as wanted, and that these raids often trigger clashes with residents.
The report said the raids are carried out without search warrants, whenever and wherever the military chooses.
The report also cited Israeli military law, which gives army commanders full executive, legislative and judicial authority over 3 million Palestinians in the West Bank, and said Palestinians have no say in how that authority is used.
The West Bank has been under Israeli military occupation since Israel captured the territory in the 1967 Middle East war.
Jenin has been a frequent focus of Israeli military operations in the northern West Bank in recent years, and Israel has said such operations target armed groups.
The report did not include a response from Israeli authorities to the shooting.
