JERUSALEM (AA) - Israeli security forces wounded two Palestinians in northeastern Jerusalem, Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said Sunday.

PRCS said the victims were taken to a health facility following the attack in the occupied Iseviye town in Jerusalem.

The medical group has yet to provide further details on the status of the victims.

A Facebook page monitoring developments in Iseviye, Valley Hilva Information Center, reported Israeli forces battered a group of Palestinians in the town and dogs were used.

The page reported that Palestinian activist Mohammed Abu al-Hummus, who sought to record the moment of attack, was also injured.

On June 27, the Israeli army increased the pressure of Iseviye following the killing of 20-year-old Palestinian Mohammed Samir Ubeyd.

For more than three months, Israeli forces conduct daily raids and detentions in the town.
