AhlulBayt News Agency: One young man was martyred and nine others were injured on Friday evening when the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) stormed Balata refugee camp in eastern Nablus, north of the West Bank, and opened fire at local residents.
The Palestinian health ministry said that 18-year-old Mohamed Amer was killed by IOF gunfire in Balata camp, adding that several wounded citizens were rushed to hospitals, including four in serious condition.
Local sources said that Israeli forces stormed the eastern area of Nablus City and spread at the northern entrance of Balata camp, with snipers on rooftops of tall building and drones overflying the area.
The Red Crescent said that the IOF obstructed the work of its ambulance crews during its raid in the camp.
Meanwhile, resistance fighters reportedly opened fire at Israeli forces and their vehicles and detonated some explosive devices at them in eastern Nablus.
In a separate incident, a horde of extremist settlers assaulted local farmers and residents in al-Buwaib village, east of Yatta City in southern al-Khalil.
Local activist Osama Makhamra said that several armed settlers stormed the village, fired live ammunition and assaulted a number of local farmers and residents, injuring a number of them.
Makhamra added that Israeli soldiers rushed to the area to help the settlers and detained four villagers, including a father and his son, after they were assaulted and injured by the settlers.
In Ramallah, seven Palestinian citizens suffered injuries when a group of extremist settlers hurled stones at them and beat them with sticks in an-Nasbiya area near Silwad town.
The same settlers also torched five Palestinian cars, one tractor and a number of olive trees in the area under military protection.
Silwad mayor Ra’ed Hamed said that local residents from the town went in the evening to check on their swaths of agricultural land in the area, where there was an illegal settler outpost about 25 days ago, when a horde of settlers showed up and attacked them.
