Ramallah, August 29 (Petra) – Four Palestinians were injured on

occupation forces in the occupied West Bank, including a 15-year-old
boy who was wounded during a raid on the al-Amari refugee camp in
al-Bireh.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said in a press release that its
crews treated two Palestinians for gunshot wounds. A 15-year-old boy
was shot in the back, while a young man sustained a gunshot wound to
the leg. Both were transferred to a hospital for treatment.

Separately, two Palestinian women were injured in an attack by
illegal settlers in the town of Silwad, in the central occupied West

The settlers severely beat the women, leaving them with bruises and
cuts.
