A Palestinian man was wounded by Israeli forces on Sunday in the Dahiyat al-Barid area, near the town of al-Ram, north of occupied Jerusalem, according to reports.
Local sources stated that Israeli forces opened fire on the individual as he attempted to cross the separation barrier into Jerusalem.
The Palestinian Red Crescent confirmed that its medical teams provided initial treatment to the wounded man and promptly transported him to a hospital. The statement indicated that he sustained gunshot wounds to the chest and shoulder. Further details regarding his overall condition upon arrival at the hospital are currently unavailable.
This incident occurs amidst escalating tensions and increasing reports of Israeli violations against Palestinian civilians and workers, particularly in the vicinity of the separation barrier. According to a recent report by the Palestinian Authority’s Commission Against the Wall and Settlements, the month of October alone witnessed over 2,350 attacks by Israeli forces and settlers against Palestinian citizens in the same area.
DZWatch will continue to monitor this developing situation and provide updates as they become available.
