IOF storms Askar refugee camp in W. Bank

Saturday 25-February-2017

The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) at dawn Saturday stormed the new Askar refugee camp east of Nablus city with no reported arrests.

Eyewitnesses said that troops aboard military vehicles patrolled neighborhoods in the refugee camp and then withdrew without raiding homes or making arrests.

In a separate incident last night several jeeps boarded by armed Jewish settlers stormed and provocatively toured a Palestinian area located between the towns of Beit Dajan and Beit Furik east of Nablus.

Hours later they withdrew from the area and drove towards the illegal settlements of Elon Moreh and Itamar.
