Israeli Forces Shoot, Inure Palestinian Boy in Kafr Qaddum Clashes

Israeli forces shot a 12-year-old Palestinian boy with a rubber-coated steel bullet during clashes in the village of Kafr Qaddum west of Nablus in the northern occupied West Bank on Saturday evening. 
Palestinian sources said that the boy was shot in the hand during clashes as Israeli troops who forcibly dispersed a rally held in the village to protest settlements and to urge Israeli authorities to reopen a road that was closed there 14 years ago. 
The Israeli troops stormed the village firing live ammunition and rubber-coated steel bullets as they chased Palestinian youth in the alleys. 
He added that soldiers detained 40-year-old Palestinian. 
Just a day prior, Israeli forces also suppressed a protest in Kafr Qaddum. 
Residents of Kafr Qaddum began staging weekly protests in 2011 against land confiscations, as well as the closure of the village's southern road by Israeli forces. The road, which has been closed for 14 years, is the main route to the nearby city of Nablus, the nearest economic center. 
Hundreds of Palestinians have been detained during the demonstrations since their start in 2011, and at least 84 protesters have been injured by live fire, including 12 children.
