A Palestinian man was injured on Friday evening after Israeli forces invaded the town of Tuqu’, southeast of Bethlehem in the southern occupied West Bank, firing live ammunition and tear gas and triggering confrontations with local residents.
Tayseer Abu Mufarreh, head of the Tuqu’ Municipal Council, stated that Israeli forces deployed in the center of the town and fired live rounds, tear‑gas canisters, stun grenades, and illumination rounds, leading to confrontations.
He confirmed that a man in his twenties was shot in the thigh before Palestinian medics rushed him to the town’s medical clinic for treatment.
The invasion comes amid a continued escalation of Israeli military operations across the occupied West Bank, where daily incursions, abductions, and attacks by illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers have intensified since late 2023, particularly in the Bethlehem, Hebron, Nablus, and Ramallah districts.
