The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Thursday evening opened fire at a Palestinian young man on a road near the illegal settlement bloc of Gush Etzion, south of Bethlehem.

The Palestinian civil liaison office told the health ministry that a citizen suffered a bullet injury in one of his feet after soldiers opened fire at him near the Etzion junction in southern Bethlehem.

The Hebrew media claimed that the young man tried to carry out a stabbing attack near Gush Etzion, but soldiers managed to neutralize him.
