The Palestinian Red Crescent says that a 70-year-old woman and a 15-year-old girl were wounded last night by shrapnel from IDF gunfire in the village of Qusra, south of Nablus.
No further details about the incident are immediately available. The military has maintained a presence in the village since last week due to an outpost established by settlers that blocked access to homes on the outskirts of the village.
Later, the Red Crescent says three people were injured after being beaten by IDF troops, according to the report, during a military operation in Nablus’s Rafidia neighborhood. No further details are immediately available.
The IDF has yet to respond.
