9-year-old child shot by Israeli forces in anti-wall demonstration near Tulkarem

A 9-year-old child was injured by Israeli gunfire during a peaceful protest against the separation wall and house demolitions in Far’un, south of the West Bank city of Tulkarem on Tuesday afternoon.

Mohammad Abdel Kareem Salim Bdeir was shot with a rubber bullet in the foot while participating in the protest.

The protestors say the construction of the illegal Israeli separation wall has appropriated thousands of dunums of agricultural lands in the village.

Protestors also demonstrated in front of houses under threat of demolition. National factions, members of the International Solidarity Movement and local residents of the village raised the Palestinian flag and banners against settlements and the separation wall.

They called on the United Nations, the international community, the Arab league and the Islamic conference organization to move towards ending such Israeli practices and force Israel to abide by international law.

The Israeli authorities have recently issued a demolition order against two more houses in the village bringing the total number of houses under threat to ten.
