The official Palestinian news agency WAFA reported that "Israeli occupation forces shot and wounded a young man before arresting him in the Al-Harayeq area, south of Hebron."
The agency added that Israeli forces stationed near the entrance to the "Hagai" settlement south of Hebron opened fire on the young man, whose identity is not yet known, wounding him before arresting him.
Eyewitnesses noted that the occupation army closed the southern entrances to the city following the incident, amid a heavy military deployment, which disrupted the movement of vehicles in the area.
Meanwhile, the United Nations on Monday condemned attacks by Israeli settlers on Palestinian citizens and journalists in the occupied West Bank.
This came in remarks made by Farhan Haq, spokesperson for UN Secretary-General António Guterres, at the daily press briefing. In response to a question about whether the Secretary-General condemns settler attacks on Palestinians and journalists in the West Bank, Haq said: "Yes, we condemn settler attacks."
Haq stressed that the United Nations rejects attacks on journalists worldwide, and that it sees no justification for Israel preventing international journalists from entering the Gaza Strip.
Regarding the ongoing Israeli military maneuvers in the West Bank and the Jordan Valley, Haq simply stated that the United Nations had clearly expressed its concern about these activities.
On Monday, the Israeli occupation army launched military maneuvers in the occupied West Bank and the Jordan Valley, which will last for three days.
The West Bank, including occupied Jerusalem, has been witnessing a comprehensive Israeli escalation for two years, resulting in the martyrdom of at least 1,069 Palestinians, the injury of about 10,000 others, and the arrest of more than 20,000 people, including 1,600 children.
