Seven Palestinian citizens, including a child, were martyred last night and at dawn Sunday during Israeli army attacks on different areas of the occupied West Bank.
According to local sources, five young men were killed and others were injured, some seriously, after the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) stormed Nur Shams refugee camp in Tulkarem.
Local sources said that Mahmoud Jaber, 22, and Ghaith Shahada, 25, were killed and others were injured when an IOF drone bombed at dawn a neighborhood in Nur Shams camp, pointing out that the IOF prevented ambulances from entering the camp following the attack.
The Palestinian health ministry also said that two young men identified as Walid Zahra and Asaad Zahra were killed and many others were wounded by IOF gunfire in the camp.
Later, the health ministry announced the martyrdom of another young man from the camp called Jihad Amarneh.
Israeli forces with bulldozers stormed overnight Nur Shams camp and declared the area a closed military zone.
Eyewitnesses said that the IOF prevented ambulances from reaching the victims inside the camp and kidnaped a paramedic called Hani Suwan as he was doing his job.
Local sources reported the occurrence of fierce clashes between resistance fighters and Israeli soldiers in the camp, pointing out that fighters detonated explosive devices at IOF vehicles during the events.
They added that the IOF bombed homes in the camp, including a house belonging to a wanted citizen identified as Iyad al-Mueen.
The IOF also kidnaped a number of citizens during raids on homes in the camp and Tulkarem City and deployed some snipers on rooftops of some tall buildings during its campaign.
The IOF reportedly used its bulldozers to wreak havoc on public and private property in the camp, including roads, cars and homes.
