Jan 02, 2021 10:38 am

The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced that Haron Abu Aram, 24, was shot and seriously injured in the neck in Al-Twana south Hebron in the occupied West Bank.

Activist Foad Al-Amour, Coordinator at Protection and Sumud Committees, said that Haron was shot from zero point, and that the bullet went through his neck and exited his body because the shooter was very close to him. Haron was shot while trying to prevent the soldiers from confiscating the construction tools before his house.

Activists on social media circulated a video of Palestinians trying to retrieve a generator from the soldiers amidst shouts and clashes. Then the bullet is heard right before the young man falls on the ground.

Another Palestinian was shot with a metal bullet while protesting against the settlement project in Deir Jarir near Ramallah. 18 Palestinians were also injured during another protest in Kafr Qaddum to the north of the West Bank.
