A Palestinian youth, from the town of Aqapa in Tubas, was shot and injured by live ammunition in the neck during confrontations that broke out tonight with Israeli forces near al-Jalama military checkpoint, north of Jenin, said security sources. Sources told WAFA that confrontations erupted near the said checkpoint after Israeli forces attacked a rally protesting the ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza. Forces attacked protesters with live fire, shooting and injuring a youth in the neck, which necessitated his transfer to hospital. In the meantime, a youth was admitted to hospital with wounds he sustained after being beaten up by Israeli forces during confrontations that broke out north of Nablus, said medical sources at the Palestinian Red Crescent.
