A number of Palestinian citizens were injured and others were kidnaped last night and at dawn Sunday after the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) stormed different areas of the West Bank.
According to local sources, two citizens suffered shrapnel injuries after Israeli drones fired missiles at different places in Nur Shams refugee camp in Tulkarem.
The IOF also kidnaped dozens of citizens during dawn raids in Nur Shams camp after herding them into a house and interrogating them.
Similar raids took place in Shuweika suburb of Tulkarem, where resistance fighters reportedly opened fire at IOF vehicles and detonated explosive devices at them.
Local sources also said that the IOF imposed a tight siege on the camp, spread through its streets, deployed snipers on rooftops of tall buildings, and broke into and ransacked homes, amid drone overflights.
