Dozens of Palestinians were injured on Tuesday when Israeli occupation forces fired live rounds, rubber-coated metal bullets, tear gas and stun grenades during clashes in the city of Hebron.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said confrontations with Israeli soldiers erupted in several locations across Hebron, south of the occupied West Bank, and were intense in Bab Al-Zawiya quarter in the center of the city and its northern.
The occupation army reinforced its presence in the city, deploying snipers on rooftops and firing rubber bullets and live rounds, injuring three young men, who were transferred to Hebron Government Hospital. A number of others were also injured by rubber bullets or tear gas, some of whom were treated on the spot by Red Crescent crews, which went on alert across the city.
Meantime, the Palestinian Foreign Ministry called on the International Criminal Court to hold Israel accountable for the “war crimes” perpetrated against the Palestinian people, the latest of which was the killing by occupation forces of five young men in the city of Nablus in the northern West Bank at dawn today and another youth in the village of Nabi Saleh near Ramallah.
