QALQILIYA (Ma‘an) 21 Aug -- Four Palestinians, including three children, were injured with rubber-coated steel bullets on Friday as Israeli forces dispersed the weekly protest in the village of Kafr Qaddum near Qalqiliya in the northern occupied West Bank, Palestinian sources said. Popular resistance coordinator in the village Murad Shtewei said that several Israeli soldiers and snipers raided the village before Friday's noon prayers. The forces fired rubber-coated steel bullets injuring six-year-old Abd al-Rahim Abd al-Salam in the shoulder, Moussa Abd al-Lateef,13, in the hand, Jamil Helmi,17, in the thigh and Odai Qaddumi,who was hit in the hands and stomach . . . According to rights group B'Tselem, Israel's Open-Fire Regulations "emphasize that the bullets must be fired only at the individual's legs, and that they are not to be fired at children or from a moving vehicle." Shtewei added that Israeli forces fired tear gas at a home, sanitation pipes, and electricity lines causing a power outage in part of the village.
