According to zionist news reports, the elderly man approached the checkpoint on foot in a lane reserved for vehicles. The soldiers shot him in the lower limbs when he did not reply to calls to stop. They then realized he has a disability and cannot hear or communicate.

He was taken to a nearby hospital for medical assistance and his condition is said to be light to moderate.

Earlier, a Palestinian young man was shot near a zionist military barrier in the city of Bethlehem.

There was no immediate information on his condition, but according to Palestinian reports, the young man was wounded and taken to a hospital in Bethlehem. (ILKHA)
