The News Cast
Two Palestinian civilians were reported injured by Israeli military fire near Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip on Tuesday midday.
Doctors said that Fadi Abu Mo’amer, 28, and his brother Mohamed, 26, were injured by fragments of a tank shell that exploded near them. Both sustained moderate wounds, doctors added.
Witnesses said that Israeli tanks opened fire on residents near Khan Younis without any reason. Since last week Israeli tanks have been attacking border areas of the Gaza Strip on a daily basis.
In other news, a group of armed Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian farmers in the northern West Bank on Tuesday, injuring one of them.
Local sources said that the settlers attacked the farmers as they worked on their lands in the village of Einabos near Nablus.
Witnesses said that settlers opened fire at them injuring Nader Hashim, 37, and also killing a number of sheep.
Doctors said that Hashim sustained wounds to his chest but he is in a stable condition. The farmers said that the settlers from the illegal Yitsaher settlement have attacked them on a number of occasions this week.
Earlier the Israeli military kidnapped six Palestinian civilians during morning invasions targeting two cities in the West Bank
Local sources said Israeli troops attacked and searched homes in the city of Bethlehem, in the southern West Bank, and Jenin, in the north.
The Israeli military announced that all six men were taken to military detention camps for questioning.
In June the Israeli military said it would stop its invasions into the cities of Ramallah and Qalqilia, as well as Bethlehem and Jericho. However, to date, attacks targeting those cities have continued.
