A large-scale attack by Israeli forces on the Balata refugee camp in Nablus, in the north of the occupied West Bank, has left at least three Palestinians dead and six injured, including two minors, according to a news agency official.
The dead were Fathi Jihad Rizq, 30, Abdullah Yousef Abu Hamdan, 24, and Mohammad Bilal Zeitoun, 32, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry, Palestinian news agency Wafa reported.
During the raid, Israeli forces broke into dozens of houses in the camp and blew up the family home, injuring two minors with shrapnel.
Shots and loud explosions rocked the camp, eyewitnesses said, while Israeli forces placed snipers on rooftops and prevented ambulances and medical personnel from entering the camp to evacuate the wounded, Wafa news agency reported.
The Israeli army in the massacre and all-out war unleashed by the Israeli regime against the Palestinian people has counted at least 156 killed during this year, including 26 minors, a war crime that must be stopped immediately.
