Israeli troops critically wound Palestinian child in crossfire with gunmen.

Israeli troops stationed at an army post in the West Bank returned fire at Palestinian gunmen near an Israeli settlement, critically wounding a three-year-old Palestinian child and his father. The Israeli military said that it appeared the two Palestinians were hit by Israeli fire. The IDF is searching for the suspected shooters. The incident occurred two days after an Israeli man was shot dead by Palestinian gunmen in the northern West Bank. Tensions between Israel and the Palestinians have been elevated for the past year.
