Four Palestinian young men were wounded on Wednesday morning after the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) stormed the Old City of Nablus in the northern West Bank.
According to local media sources a large number of Israeli troops aboard military vehicles stormed the Old City of Nablus to back up members of a special unit who already encircled a house in al-Yasmina neighborhood.
Meanwhile resistance fighters reportedly exchanged fire with Israeli troops in the neighborhood.
The Red Crescent said that its ambulance crews provided on-site medical assistance for four wounded young men and transferred one of them to Rafidia Hospital.
Eyewitnesses said that the IOF raid started when soldiers disguised as civilians infiltrated into the Old City aboard fridge trucks and positioned themselves in Hosh Atout and al-Yasmina neighborhood where they started to encircle a house.
They reported seeing Israeli ambulances in the Old City during the armed clashes apparently to evacuate injured soldiers.
They added that the IOF withdrew from the city but members of the special unit left behind the civilian clothes they used when they stormed the old area of Nablus.
There was also unconfirmed news that the IOF kidnaped a young man from the house they raided in the area where the gunfight took place but the Hebrew media said that the Israeli operation to arrest a wanted young man from the city failed.
In a related context the Nablus Brigade affirmed that its fighters showered Israeli troops and their vehicles in al-Yasmina neighborhood with bullets and injured a number of them.
