Activist: 10-year-old boy shot with rubber bullet

Ma'an – A 10-year-old boy was shot in the leg with a rubber-coated bullet on Wednesday, activists said Thursday.

The boy, Qusay Ahmad Abu Hashem, was reportedly injured in clashes with Israeli forces near Beit Ummar, north of Hebron.

Palestine Solidarity Project spokesman Muhammad Awad said a protest took place Wednesday near the Kermi Tsour settlement.

A spokesman for Israel's Civil Administration said he was unaware of the incident.
