The Israeli army continued its military offensive targeting the northern West Bank city of Qalqilia. Medical sources reported that 34 civilians have been injured due to army fire since the beginning of the invasion this morning, one of them critically.

The medical sources identified Ibrahim Daoud, aged 17, who was shot in the head by the invading Israeli troops.

Earlier today the Israeli army demolished two homes there. Palestinian media sources reported that a massive army force along with two military bulldozers invaded the city then surrounded the house of Adel Hassan, forcing the family out. They then destroyed the house and kidnapped Hassan, taking him to an unknown destination.

Shortly thereafter troops attacked and demolished another nearby house. Local sources said it belonged to a local resident known as Qassem Al Hurop.

As the time of this report the Israeli army is still in the city occupying homes, witnesses said, forcing them to gather in a nearby area while their homes are searched. Israeli troops have also been seen forcing men to undress.
