A 20 year old resident of the village of Ni'lin was shot in the neck

currently in Sheikh Zaide hospital where his condition is not severe.
Another resident, Nabil Nafar, was beaten by Israeli forces who broke

bullets and were treated in the village.

7 Israeli jeeps and around 70 soldiers invaded the village at around

The army invaded the house of Akil Nafar, causing much damage to his
house. However, no arrests were made.
