Two Palestinians, including a child, were injured by Israeli army gunfire early on Sunday during military raids in the northern occupied West Bank cities of Jenin and Qalqilya, the Palestinian Red Crescent Society said.

The organisation said its medical teams treated a 50-year-old man who was shot with live ammunition in the hand and leg during an Israeli army raid in the Al-Jabriyat area of Jenin.

The wounded man was transferred to a hospital for treatment, it said.

In Qalqilya, a Palestinian child was shot with live ammunition in the thigh during an Israeli military raid on the city and was also taken to a hospital, according to the Red Crescent.
