Wednesday 18-July-2018

Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Wednesday morning stormed Jenin refugee camp in the northern West Bank and surrounded a Palestinian house.

Local sources told the PIC reporter that dozens of IOF soldiers broke into the house and stayed there for about half an hour.

The sources added that neighbors were able to take photos of two young men handcuffed inside the house. After the IOF withdrew from the area they found out that the owner of the house Ahmad al-Tayyeb and his three sons Tamer Abdul-Raouf and Saber were arrested.

A Palestinian youth identified as Mahmoud Abu al-Wafa was injured by a rubber-coated metal bullet to the leg during clashes in Jenin camp following the IOF raid.

The PIC reporter said quoting local sources that the IOF soldiers heavily fired rubber-coated metal bullets and teargas canisters at Palestinian citizens as they were withdrawing from the camp.

Al-Wafa was transferred to a local hospital for treatment while a number of Palestinian citizens suffered breathing difficulties as a result of inhaling teargas.
