AhlulBayt News Agency - Three Palestinians, including a child, were critically injured Sunday as clashes broke out in Khader town south of Bethlehem, while a child was detained in Jenin.

Medical and local sources reported that the clashes broke out when Israeli forces violently stormed the town amid heavy and random fire of live ammunition.

A child was seriously injured after being directly shot in his chest, the sources added.

He underwent an urgent surgery once he arrived at Yamamah Hospital after a bullet had pierced his back, according to the emergency doctor.

The Israeli forces tried to storm the hospital to arrest him despite his difficult health situation; however, local youths prevented their raid.

Two other Palestinians were injured including a doctor during the confrontations that erupted outside the hospital. The doctor was reportedly in a serious but stable condition.

Along the same line, a 15-year-old child was arrested as clashes broke out in Yabad town southeast of Jenin, while dozens suffered the effects of teargas inhalation.

Local sources said that the confrontations erupted when a number of Israeli army vehicles stormed the town amid heavy fire of teargas bomb and rubber bullets at the houses.

A number of houses were violently stormed and searched during the raid.

Another young man was also arrested in Beit Ummar town north of al-Khalil after the confiscation of his car.
