Palestine (Imemc): A Palestinian was killed and nine others were injured in an Israeli military raid in Balata refugee camp in the West Bank city of Nablus on Tuesday, according to the Ministry of Health.

The Palestinian Health Ministry said the soldiers shot Fares Abdul-Mon’em Mohammad Hashash, 19, after shooting him with live rounds in the chest, abdomen, and legs.

The Health Ministry added that Palestinian medics rushed Fares to Rafidia governmental hospital, but he succumbed to his serious wounds.

The Ministry also said the soldiers shot eight with live fire, including a child, and added that four injured Palestinians suffered life-threatening wounds.

The soldiers prevented Palestinian medics from entering the refugee camp and fired live rounds at an ambulance trying to reach wounded Palestinians.

The medics were only allowed to enter the refugee camp and reach the wounded after coordination by the International Committee of the Red Cross, which contacted the Israeli side.

In addition, the soldiers surrounded a home in the refugee camp and threatened to detonate it if the Palestinians did not leave the property, in addition to storming and ransacking many surrounding homes and detaining the families.

The invasion started when undercover soldiers infiltrated the refugee camp wearing press vests, but the locals noticed them before an Israeli army sharpshooter on a rooftop of an invaded home shot and seriously injured a teenage boy, identified as Tha’er Hashash, whose flesh was scattered on nearby walls and doors.

Furthermore, the soldiers assaulted and injured a Palestinian man and his wife in the Askar refugee camp, east of Nablus, before the medics rushed them to a hospital in the city.

Also, the army invaded Tal Street in Nablus city before storming a building and taking measurements of the family home of Moath Al-Masri, in preparation for demolishing it.

No arrests were reported during the Israeli raid.

There was no comment from the Israeli army on the report.

According to Palestinian figures, more than 155 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire since the start of this year. At least 21 Israelis have also been killed in separate attacks during the same period.
