West Bank: A young Palestinian was shot and wounded yesterday in a clash with Jewish colonists in the West Bank, Palestinian security sources said.
The trouble erupted when a group of around 40 Israeli colonists entered the Burqin area in the north of the occupied territory and clashed with residents, they said.
At least one colonist opened fire, the Palestinian security sources said, adding that 14-year-old Hassan Barkawi was hit in the shoulder by a bullet.
They said the Israeli military intervened to separate the two groups and then forced the colonists to leave the area.
An Israeli military spokeswoman said she was not immediately able to provide details about the reported incident.
