Six citizens were injured by live and rubber bullets fired by Israeli occupation forces on Wednesday evening during the ongoing raid on Balata refugee camp, east of Nablus.

The director of the Red Crescent's emergency and ambulance center in Nablus, Amid Ahmed, said that ambulance crews treated six injuries caused by Israeli occupation forces' gunfire, four of which were shot with live ammunition and were transferred to the hospital, and two with rubber-coated metal bullets.

He stated that a child was injured in the face after being directly targeted with a tear gas bomb, and that five citizens suffered bruises as a result of being beaten by occupation soldiers, while 50 citizens suffered suffocation as a result of inhaling toxic gas.

Ahmed confirmed that ambulance crews evacuated 21 patients, including four children, from inside the camp to hospitals.

Our correspondent reported that occupation forces stormed Balata camp in the early hours of Wednesday morning, amid widespread deployment inside the camp and the closure of its entrances. They forced a number of families to flee their homes, and destroyed and vandalized the contents of several homes inside the camp.
