Israeli soldiers shot a Palestinian in the leg during an incursion Thursday in the West Bank town of An-Nabi Saleh, near Ramallah, local sources said.

Palestinians in the village said Omer Saleh At-Tamimi was shot with live ammunition while demonstrators confronted the Israeli soldiers, throwing stones.

Israeli military forces were said to have shut down all entrances to the village, stopping Palestinians from entering or leaving.

Residents also said Israeli soldiers detained several people, including Helmi At-Tamimi.

The village's Media Committee added that Israeli settlers were gathering at one entrance to the village under the protection of Israeli soldiers.
