Israeli forces shoot, wound four Palestinians in Jenin, West Bank

Israeli troopers have shot and wounded at least four Palestinians in northern city of Jenin in the occupied West Bank as tensions continue to simmer in the occupied territories.

  The Palestinian Information Center, quoting local sources, reported that Khaled Nasser Fraihat, a worker from Yamoun town, west of Jenin, was shot in his leg by Israeli forces while he was going to his workplace on Sunday. The shooting occurred near the “Apartheid Wall” in the vicinity of Barta’a town, southwest of Jenin, the report said, adding that the Palestinian worker was then taken to a nearby hospital for due treatment. Israel began building the barrier of walls and fences inside the occupied West Bank back in 2002. Tel Aviv argues that the project is aimed at preventing "infiltration" into the occupied territories, but Palestinians say the move is yet another violation of their rights and allows for further annexation of their land. The barrier wall violates the basic rights of nearly a million Palestinians, forcing thousands of them to obtain special permits from Israeli forces to allow them to move between their homes and their lands. According to the report, Palestinian workers are always chased by Israeli forces while trying to access their workplaces in the occupied lands.
