Zionist soldiers shoot Palestinian elderly man at Qalandiya crossing
A 60-year-old Palestinian was shot and wounded on Monday by zionist occupation soldiers at the Qalandiya checkpoint, a busy crossing between Jerusalem and the northern West Bank, a few hours after a separate shooting incident in Bethlehem.
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)
