Two Palestinian young men at dawn Tuesday suffered live bullet injuries when clashes broke out with Israeli soldiers escorting Jewish settlers in Nablus City.
A Red Crescent ambulance center and local sources reported that Mohamed Abu Mustafa and Ahmed Hashash were badly injured when soldiers opened fire at them adding that one of them suffered a serious deep wound after a bullet penetrated his abdominal area.
The clashes started after Israeli soldiers aboard patrol vehicles entered the eastern area of Nablus and spread on streets and areas around Joseph’s Tomb.
Afterwards dozens of Jewish settlers who gathered at Beit Furik checkpoint east of the city were escorted aboard nearly 30 buses to Joseph’s Tomb where they performed noisy rituals.
According to local sources the skirmishes were more intense at the northern entrance to Balata refugee camp east of the city where young men attacked soldiers with stones and firecrackers.
One young man identified as Samer Rummanah was also rounded up during the events.
