Eyewitnesses told the Palestinian state news wire Wafa that Israeli soldiers manning the Tekoa checkpoint east of Bethlehem shot at a car approaching the checkpoint, then arrested 41-year-old Mohammed Ghanam and his 17-year-old son Qamr. Both were from the village of Dura in Hebron governorate.

Also on Saturday morning, Israeli settlers from the illegal settlement of Amous shot at Palestinian shepherds near the village of Tuqu’. Eyewitnesses told Wafa that since the Israeli military instantly declared the area a closed military zone, they could not find out if anyone was injured.
