Israeli police have fired a rubber bullet at a five-year-old Palestinian boy’s face as he was getting out of a school bus on his way home, the child’s family told Palestinian media. He sustained a skull fracture under his eye.
The incident happened when Muhammad Jamal Ubeid and his 14-year-old sister stepped out of the school bus and started walking home in al-Issawiya, an Arab village and neighborhood in East Jerusalem, on Wednesday.
"An Israeli soldier fired a black rubber-coated bullet at the child from a close distance, injuring him under the eye," Muhammad’s uncle told the Palestinian Ma'an News Agency.
