Local medical sources confirmed that Salah Najajra,18, was moderately wounded after sustaining an Israeli bullet.
Witnesses said that Najajra was walking, along with some villagers, along the nearby Israeli settlement of Betar, when Israeli soldiers opened fire from a hilltop.
Witnesses added that no clashes were talking place in the area and that the Israeli army fire was opened abruptly randomly.
Israeli settlements are scattered in different parts of the West Bank, just close to or inside Palestinian-owned lands, constituting flashpoints across the occupied Palestinian territory.
