Rubber bullets and live ammunition. That is the regular means by which Israeli forces treat Palestinians in the occupied territories.

And most recently a 15-year-old Palestinian has been targeted in Hizma, a town of roughly 6,000 people.

The Palestinian Information Center reported on Monday that the teenager was injured in the head by a rubber bullet.

Earlier in the day, Israeli troops stormed the Beit Ummar neighborhood in the West Bank city of al-Khalil (Hebron). There, they used live ammunition during violent clashes with Palestinian youths. Another young Palestinian was injured, too.
