10 injured, many others kidnaped by IOF in southern Jericho

At least 10 Palestinian young men were wounded, one seriously, and 12 others were kidnaped by the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) in Aqabat Jabr refugee camp in southern Jericho last night and at dawn Thursday.

According to local sources, a large number of Israeli troops stormed the camp last night and raided over 30 homes.

The IOF also encircled one of the houses in the camp, fired projectiles at it, and clashed with angry local youths.

10 young men were reportedly injured by IOF gunfire, one of them critically, and dozens suffered from their exposure to tear gas during the overnight events.

12 young men were also taken prisoners during the IOF raid in the camp.

Meanwhile, the IOF closed all the entrances of the camp and blocked ambulances from entering.
