Israeli forces open fire in the air to cover settler attack
Quds News reports that Israeli soldiers opened fire in the air to provide cover for settler militias from the Hilltop Youth organization as they encroached on private Palestinian land in the village of Faqqu'a, northeast of Jenin, in the occupied West Bank. The same report says Israeli soldiers also opened fire on local Palestinian citizens, injuring one person, while the settlers were grazing their sheep on Palestinian land.
