5 young Palestinians were killed in Nour Shams camp, and the number of killed rose to 7

Five young men were killed today, Saturday, during the ongoing Israeli aggression against Nour Shams camp for the third day in a row.


The Israeli occupation authorities detained the bodies of: Alaa Youssef Abdel Rahim, Jaafar Salim Khaled Omar, Ahmed Hossam Muhammad Shehadeh, Omar Saleh Nayef Abu Al-Rub, and Ali Muhammad Ali Abdullah, without any information about the circumstances of their death.


With the death of the five young men, the number of killed of the camp has risen so far to 7 persons, including the child Qais Fathi Nasrallah (15 years old), who was transferred yesterday to the hospital, and Salim Faisal Ghannam (30 years old), who is still lying in one of the camp’s homes.


The Israeli occupation forces prevent ambulances from entering the camp to transport the dead.


The Red Crescent Society reported that its crews were trying to reach casualties after receiving reports in the slaughterhouse area of Nour Shams camp, but the Israeli occupation forces prevented them, pursued them, and asked them to leave the place.


The Israeli occupation forces opened fire on an ambulance belonging to the Red Crescent Society after its crew attempted to pull the body of one of the killed from one of the outskirts of the camp, but no injuries were reported.


The Israeli occupation forces continue their aggression against the camp by sending more military vehicles stationed in all its axes, alleys, neighborhoods and Nablus Street adjacent to its entrance, amid heavy gunfire at anyone trying to leave or approach the camp.


The Israeli occupation bulldozers carried out extensive demolition and sabotage of the infrastructure and citizens’ property, affecting the camp’s bakery, commercial stores, homes, fences, and the destruction of vehicles, in addition to the interruption of electricity, water, communication networks, and the Internet. This attack was described as the most violent and worst in months.


The Israeli occupation forces are raiding dozens of citizens' homes, introducing police dogs into them, searching and vandalizing them, arresting young men, beating and abusing them, and deploying their snipers on the roofs of tall buildings. They have also blown up a number of homes with Energa guided missiles.


So far, 12 people injured by live bullets and severe beatings have arrived at the Martyr Thabet Thabet Governmental Hospital and the Al-Isra Specialized Hospital in Tulkarm, and their injuries were described as minor to moderate.
