JENIN (PIC)– Six Palestinian citizens were wounded on Tuesday including two children when IOF troops burst into the Jenin refugee camp and fired at a building in which they claim a number of resistance activists were hiding.
Eyewitnesses said that an IOF unit was encircling the house at the outskirts of the camp since early morning hours and clashed with resistance fighters.
They added that young men threw stones at the invading troops who retaliated by firing live bullets and sonic bombs wounding six of them.
IOF troops arrested a Palestinian youth in the camp after breaking into his home.
Other IOF units stormed the Qabatia town west of Jenin and engaged resistance elements.
Meanwhile in the Gaza Strip the armed wing of Hamas Movement on Tuesday morning fired five mortar shells at a gathering for IOF armored vehicles in Karm Abu Salem crossing south of the Strip.
The armed wing the Qassam Brigades had shelled the same position two hours earlier with 8 mortar shells. It said that both attacks were in response to IOF crimes and promised more painful strikes if the IOF persisted in its aggressions against the Palestinian people.
