An Israeli soldier shot and wounded a Palestinian man in the leg during a confrontation in Faqqua in the occupied West Bank on Thursday. The incident occurred when settlers entered the area with livestock to graze on land owned by Palestinian residents, according to eyewitnesses.
Residents attempted to stop the settlers, prompting Israeli forces to intervene. According to men present at the scene, soldiers opened fire on residents, with one soldier shooting Qassem Hussam, a Palestinian man in his mid-30s, in the leg. The shooting is the latest incident to raise questions over Israel's ability or willingness to prevent violent settler activities in occupied territory.
