Seven Palestinians sustained injuries in the occupied West Bank village of al-Mughayyir near Ramallah as Israeli forces besieged the settlement, local sources told Al Jazeera. Most of those wounded were struck by live ammunition during the operation.
Details about the specific circumstances of the incident and the Israeli military's stated justification for the siege were not immediately clear. The village of al-Mughayyir has experienced repeated Israeli military incursions and settler violence in recent years.
