  "account": "On Thursday evening, Israeli forces and armed settlers conducted raids in multiple areas of the West Bank, resulting in the injury of a Palestinian child and 18 others. The Palestinian Red Crescent Society reported that the child had been shot in the leg by live ammunition during an Israeli raid on the town of Yamun, located west of Jenin. The injured individual was promptly taken to a hospital for treatment.\n\nIn Hebron, local sources revealed that Israeli forces had fired tear gas canisters at a house within the Old City. This attack caused 11 Palestinians, including children and women, to suffer from suffocation due to tear gas inhalation. In response, Palestinian Red Crescent teams provided medical care to those affected at the scene.\n\nFurthermore, in the village of Umm al-Khair situated within the Hebron governorate, armed settlers launched an assault on the residents, deploying pepper spray in their faces. The protection of Israeli forces enabled this attack to take place. As a result of this confrontation, seven individuals, including a foreign supporter, were injured, suffering from burns and suffocation.\n\nAdditionally, a group of settlers, supported by Israeli forces, has been encircling a Palestinian home in the Wadi al-Rakhim area of Masafer Yatta for three days. This siege has prevented the family of 10, comprising children and women, from either leaving or accessing their residence.",
