Israeli soldiers injured, Friday, a Palestinian child, after the army attacked the weekly nonviolent procession in Kufur Qaddoum village, east of the northern West Bank city of Qalqilia.

Medical sources said the soldiers shot the child, Mo’men Morad, 8, with a rubber-coated steel bullet in his abdomen.

Medics provided the child with the needed treatment without the need to hospitalize him.

The soldiers also fired gas bombs and concussion grenades at the protesters, who marched in solidarity with the Palestinian detainees, held by Israel, and demanding the army to reopen the main road, which was blockaded fifteen years ago to provide easy access to colonizers driving to and from Kedumim illegal colony, which was built on private Palestinian lands.
