Israeli occupation forces have shot and injured a Palestinian on Friday while he was tending to his land near Israel's separation wall in the village of Deir Ballut in the western part of Salfit district in the occupied West Bank.

The man was reportedly injured with a live bullet to his left hand after Israeli forces opened fire on him while he was watering trees on his land, Ma’an News Agency reported.

The UN has reported that at least 92 Palestinians are injured by Israeli forces every two weeks, while 1,444 Palestinians were injured by Israeli forces this year, as of July 17. This data does not include the hundreds of Palestinians who were injured during Al-Aqsa protests post-July 17.
