JERUSALEM: This evening, a 23-year-old youth was injured by gunfire in a terror attack carried out by Israeli colonists on the town of Makhmas, located northeast of occupied Jerusalem.

Eyewitnesses told WAFA correspondent that at least 30 colonists stormed the town of Makhmas from the eastern side during the iftar time, smashing the windows of several vehicles and firing live ammunition at civilians.
