The Palestinian Red Crescent Society reported that its crews treated eight people, including three injuries with live ammunition in the thigh and foot and two with shrapnel wounds, during the IOF raid on the Old City of Nablus. All of the wounded were transferred to the hospital for treatment, it added.
The Red Crescent added that 53 citizens were suffocated by IOF tear gas and were treated in the field.
Eyewitnesses confirmed that there were a number of injuries at the entrance of Hosh al-Atout area in the Yasmina neighborhood of the Old City, noting that occupation soldiers prevented them from approaching.
Local sources reported that gunfire was heard after the occupation army’s special forces infiltrated the Old City in civilian clothing, noting that Israeli troops arrested two young men, one of whom was already shot by the special forces near Hosh al-Atout.
The IOF dispatched large military reinforcements through the Al-Tur and Huwara checkpoints and encircled the Old City amid violent clashes with citizens.
