FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda At least one Palestinian teenager has been injured in an attack by Israeli forces on a group of people protesting in the occupied West Bank.
On Thursday, dozens of Palestinians held a demonstration in the town of Beit Furik, located nine kilometers (5.5 miles) southeast of Nablus in the West Bank. Scuffles broke out when Israeli troops assaulted the protesters and opened fire to disperse the crowd.
Munadel Hanini, a member of the Palestinian Popular Struggle Front’s central committee, said a 16-year-old Palestinian, identified as Tawfiq Hamad Khatatbeh, was shot in the leg during the clashes.
On December 18, Israeli forces shot dead a Palestinian man during a military operation near Ramallah in the occupied West Bank. Twenty-one-year-old Mahmoud Abdallah was shot in the head when Israeli soldiers clashed with the residents of the Qalandiya refugee camp back then. Another Palestinian was injured in the Israeli raid and then arrested for questioning.
Tensions have been running high for over a month in the West Bank and East al-Quds (Jerusalem) over the desecration of al-Aqsa Mosque by Israeli troops and the recent killing of a Palestinian minister in the occupied West Bank.
The al-Aqsa compound, which lies in the Israeli-occupied Old City of al-Quds, is a flashpoint. The location of the compound, known to Jews as the Temple Mount, is the holiest site in Judaism. The al-Aqsa mosque is Islam’s third-holiest site after Mecca and Medina in Saudi Arabia.
