Mohammad Awad, a local activist who monitors israeli human rights violations in the area, affirmed that the child was hit with a rubber-coated steel round in the head by zionist forces while he was spending time with his family on their farm near the town.

The child was rushed to Alia Hospital for medical treatment, where his condition was described as stable.

On Friday, a 13-year-old Palestinian boy was shot and killed by zionist occupation forces during an anti-occupation march in Deir al-Hatab village, in the occupied West Bank province of Nablus.
