Six Palestinians are wounded by Israeli troops’ gunfire during clashes near Ramallah and Qalqilya, health officials say.

The Palestinian Authority Health Ministry says that during clashes near the city of al-Bireh, close to Ramallah, one person was shot in the chest and seriously hurt, while three others suffered more minor injuries.

The four were taken to Ramallah Medical Complex, the ministry says.

In separate clashes near Qalqilya, another two Palestinians were shot and moderately hurt, the ministry says.

There is no immediate comment from the Israel Defense Forces on the clashes, which come after a deadly raid in the northern West Bank city of Jenin this morning.
