A spokesman for the Beit El settlement says that a 7-year-old boy in the central West Bank community has been lightly injured from gunfire that came from the adjacent village of Jalazone. The gunfire is believed to have struck him in the hand, the spokesman says.

The IDF could not immediately comment on the matter.
