A 12-year-old Palestinian boy was mildly wounded on Thursday afternoon after a rubber bullet hit his head during an anti-security fence riot in the West Bank town of Naalin.
Four Border Guard officers were lightly wounded from rocks thrown at them during a violent riot. Two of those wounded were taken to a Jerusalem hospital for medical attention and two others were treated at the scene
During the altercation, a Border Guard officer fired warning shots in midair, after identifying a masked man amongst the crowd, attempting to light a Molotov cocktail. Security forces said no casualties were spotted amongst the rioters, but Palestinians sources claimed several people were wounded.
The latest Naalin riot broke out at noon, as 100 Palestinians arrived at the local security fence. Troops stationed in the area attempted to disperses the rally, which quickly turned violent, using crowd control measures.
The 12-year old boy was apparently injured at this time and a pregnant woman was reportedly wounded by tear gas.
Security forces have arrested four Palestinians, including the chairman of a local Palestinian municipality.
