A Palestinian was killed by Israeli army gunfire on Wednesday in clashes that erupted during an arrest raid in Al-Ain refugee camp, west of Nablus.

The victim was identified as 23-year-old Mohammad Abudul Hakim Nada.

The Palestinian Red Crescent said that Nada was wounded in the chest by live ammunition during the clashes that took place at the refugee camp. Medical staff said that he was in a serious condition, and later confirmed his death. 

The confrontations broke out after Israeli occupation forces raided the camp to carry out an arrest.

Israeli soldiers arrested a Palestinian man, Nour Basiouni, after surrounding his home, according to his brother.

Another source said that the occupation army fired stun grenades at Palestinians at the scene, and damaged vehicles.

Thousands of Palestinians gathered in the city of Nablus and the refugee camp to mourn Nada. The funeral took place in front of Rafidia Hospital, with members of the family and official representatives in attendance. 

In a sombre atmosphere, he was buried in the cemetery in the refugee camp alongside other martyrs.
