WEST BANK, (PIC)
Three Palestinian young men were martyred and others were injured by Israeli gunfire in different areas of the occupied West Bank on Wednesday morning.
According to local sources, a young man called Ahmed Aslan died of critical bullet injuries he sustained when the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) opened fire at him in Qalandia refugee camp, northeast of Jerusalem.
The Red Crescent, for its part, said that six young citizens suffered bullet injuries and two others were severely beaten during the IOF raid in Qalandia camp.
The IOF also detonated a house belonging to the family of martyr Mohamed Manasra and ransacked several homes in the camp. Martyr Manasra was killed by IOF gunfire last February near al-Lubban ash-Sharqiya town in southern Nablus.
In Tubas, the IOF shot dead a customs police officer called Abd Sarhan, a resident of Balata refugee camp.
The Red Crescent said that its ambulance crews evacuated martyr Sarhan and another wounded citizen, who suffered a bullet injury in his chest, to a local hospital.
Local sources said that Israeli special forces stormed Tubas City at first, encircled a house and clashed with resistance fighters before military reinforcements were rushed to the area.
They added that Israeli forces raided homes and kidnaped two ex-detainees from Tubas.
In Tulkarem, a young man identified as Yazan Abdo was pronounced dead today after he succumbed to a serious bullet injury he sustained during the IOF raid in Tulkarem refugee camp on Tuesday.
Yesterday, the IOF killed three resistance commanders as well as a mother and her daughter in Tulkarem camp when they bombed a house using a drone during a raid that continued for 17 hours.
Meanwhile, medical sources at Rafidia Hospital said that a 13-year-old child from Bal’ah town in Tulkarem called Saif Omair died on Tuesday evening of a critical bullet injury he had sustained about two weeks ago when an Israeli soldier opened fire at him in Meithalun town in Jenin.
