Four Palestinians were injured by the Israeli army’s shelling in the West Bank, the Palestinian Health Ministry said on Monday in a statement.
“Four young Palestinian men were injured by bullets from the Israeli forces at the entrance to the Deir Abu Mash’al settlement [northwest of the city of Ramallah],” the statement said.
One of the injured is in serious condition, according to the ministry.
The latest surge of violence in Gaza erupted on Monday after a Hamas commander was killed in a covert Israeli operation. Since then, Gaza militants have fired at least 460 rockets at Israel, and Israeli forces have carried out airstrikes on 160 targets in Gaza.
At least seven Palestinians and one Israeli have died as a result of the renewed tensions. On Tuesday evening, the sides returned to a truce, completing the most intense fire exchange in the past four years.
