As soon as the vehicle approached them, Israeli soldiers rained the vehicle with bullets, injuring a toddler with a gunshot in his head and his father in his arm.

The toddler, Mohammed Tamimi, and his father were traveling in their car, near the Israeli army checkpoint at the entrance to the village.

Mohammed and his father were rushed to the hospital for treatment and their health condition is not yet clear.
