Three Palestinian youths have sustained gunshot wounds in violent clashes with Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank city of Ramallah amid a flare-up of tensions between Palestinians and the usurping regime in the occupied territories.

Palestine's official Wafa news agency said on Monday that three Palestinian youths were injured by Israeli gunfire, while a fourth was detained, during clashes in the village of Ni'lin after the Eid al-Fitr prayer, which marks the end of the holy fasting month of Ramadan.

The news agency said the clashes broke out after Israeli forces raided the village and opened fire on local residents with live bullets.

Israeli soldiers detained a youth after raiding his family's home in the village.

Late on Sunday, the Israeli occupation forces stormed Marda village in the West Bank and fired stun grenades in the streets, which caused panic among the families and their children.

Citing local sources, Wafa also said on Monday that a Palestinian doctor was injured by Israeli gunfire, while dozens of others suffered from suffocation, during an Israeli military raid in the village of Kafr Allabad, to the east of the West Bank city of al-Khalil.

The news agency said the confrontations between Palestinians and Israeli forces broke out following the raid into the village, which resulted in injuring 70-year-old doctor Adnan Mahfouth with a rubber bullet in the neck as he offered help to the casualties during the confrontations.

Dozens of others suffered from suffocation due to inhaling the teargas bomb fired at them by Israeli forces.

Intensified Israeli aggression in al-Quds prompts call for action, probe

Iran’s ambassador to the UN has denounced deadly raids by Israeli forces against Palestinians in and around the al-Aqsa Mosque compound in the occupied Old City of al-Quds, urging immediate action to halt the aggression.

The latest development comes as the Israeli regime has escalated its deadly attacks against Palestinians in the run-up to Ramadan and sustained the violence throughout the holy fasting month, stirring up anti-Tel Aviv sentiments throughout the occupied territories.

The Israeli regime has also ramped up its violent attacks on Palestinian worshipers in the al-Aqsa Mosque compound in the occupied Old City of al-Quds in recent weeks.

Last week, thousands of people across the globe took to the streets to deplore Israeli violence against Palestinians at al-Aqsa Mosque and elsewhere in the occupied territories.

Since last month, at least 25 Palestinians have been killed in attacks by Israeli forces across the occupied territories.
