A young Palestinian protester was shot and injured by Israeli forces on Friday during protests in the central occupied West Bank district of Ramallah.

Iran Press/Middle East: The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said a Palestinian youth was taken to the hospital after he was shot in the leg by Israeli forces, according to MA’AN news agency.

Local sources announced that the Israeli occupation forces fired live ammunition, rubber-coated metal bullets, stun grenades, and teargas canisters at the Palestinians who were protesting to protect their agricultural lands from continuous attack by militant Israeli settlers.

In Oct. 22, a Palestinian youth was martyred by Israeli troops fires near the Ibrahimi Mosque in the southern West Bank town on Monday morning.

Also in Oct. 04, dozens of Palestinians were injured in Israeli occupation forces' attack in the district of Hebron (al-Khalil) in the Southern West Bank.

Palestinian towns and villages in the Nablus area are surrounded by Israeli settlements and outposts, many of which are protected by the Israeli forces and have gained notoriety for being comprised of the most extremist settlers.

The Palestinian government has no jurisdiction over Israelis in the occupied West Bank, and violent acts carried out by militant Israeli settlers often occur in the presence of Israeli military forces who never intervene to protect Palestinian residents.

In recent months, there has been a sharp rise in raids conducted by Israeli security forces in the West Bank.

The Israeli army frequently carries out sweeping arrest campaigns across the occupied West Bank under the pretext of searching for "wanted" Palestinians.
