Dozens of Palestinian citizens were injured Saturday evening during confrontations with the Israeli police in Shu’fat refugee camp northeast of Occupied Jerusalem.
Fatah spokesman in Shu’fat Thaer Fasfous said that the Israeli police broke into Palestinian houses in the camp and searched them.
Fasfous added that violent clashes broke out between Israeli policemen and Shu’fat youths. The police heavily fired teargas canisters and sound bombs while the youths responded by throwing stones and Molotov cocktails.
He added that dozens of Palestinian citizens suffered breathing difficulties as a result of inhaling teargas without giving detailed information about their health conditions.
The Israeli police launch raid campaigns into Shu’fat camp on a regular basis. The Israeli raids are usually accompanied by clashes and arbitrary arrests.
