The Israeli army and illegal settlers have wounded four Palestinians, including a child, in separate attacks across the occupied West Bank.

According to the Palestinian Red Crescent, Israeli forces opened fire on a 17-year-old Palestinian boy near the Nur Shams refugee camp in the northern city of Tulkarem.

The boy was wounded by gunfire in his hand and knee and received medical treatment from Red Crescent teams.

The humanitarian organisation also reported that another Palestinian was hospitalised after being assaulted by Israeli occupiers in Tulkarem.

In the southern West Bank city of Hebron (Al Khalil), an illegal Israeli settler wounded a Palestinian teenage girl, with Red Crescent crews providing first aid at the scene.

The Red Crescent added that another Palestinian in Hebron was beaten and wounded by Israeli forces before being transferred to a hospital for treatment.

About 750,000 illegal Israeli settlers live in the occupied West Bank, including 250,000 in occupied East Jerusalem, according to Palestinian estimates.

The settlements are considered illegal under international law. Since October 2023, Israeli forces and illegal settlers have intensified raids across the occupied West Bank, killing at least 1,155 Palestinians, wounding 11,750 others, and arresting nearly 22,000.
