Former prisoner Mohammed al-Salehi 32 was shot and killed in cold blood by an Israeli sniper during the raids the sources added.
The killed man was taken to al-Ahli Hospital amid simmering tensions throughout the refugee camp.
Al-Salehi was directly shot in his neck which led to his instant death his mother clarified calling for revenge.
Violent clashes broke out in the aftermath of the raid with Israeli forces arresting at least three local residents.
Those arrested were later identified as Mahmoud Jabbarin Qais Nash’at and Mahmoud Nazmi Abu Hassan.
The occupied Palestinian territories have witnessed tensions ever since Israel imposed restrictions on the entry of Palestinian worshipers into the al-Aqsa Mosque compound in occupied Jerusalem in August 2015.
More than 270 Palestinians have lost their lives at the hands of Israeli occupation forces since the beginning of October that year when the tensions escalated.
