Israeli forces shoot and wound Palestinian child in Nablus

A Palestinian child, 13, has been shot and wounded by Israeli force in the town of Beit Furik, east of Nablus in the occupied West Bank, according to medics.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said the child was shot in the thigh and later transferred to hospital for treatment.

It occurred during an Israeli military raid on Beit Furik, during which troops fired live bullets, rubber-coated metal rounds, stun grenades, and tear gas canisters. 

According to local media, Israeli settlers abducted three Palestinian children from the al-Dubbat neighbourhood of Beit Furik. Residents later rescued the children, finding them tied to olive trees.
