19-year-old Faris Abdel Moneim Hashash was killed and a number of other Palestinians were injured on Tuesday in an Israel raid of the Balata refugee camp, east of Nablus in the occupied West Bank.

The Palestinian Red Crescent reported that eight civilians were wounded by live ammunition. One was wounded by shrapnel to the head. 

The Israeli forces prevented the Red Crescent teams from reaching a child with a foot injury inside a house. He was eventually rescued and taken to hospital, where he is in a stable condition. 

A special Israeli unit had raided Balata refugee camp to capture a young man, surrounding his house and demanding that he turn himself in. 

At the camp, they faced armed resistance from Palestinian militants, and called on reinforcements. 

There were also reports of an explosion, apparently caused by an RPG fired toward the besieged house.
