Nablus – One Palestinian was killed and others were injured by Israeli military gunfire in an overnight raid in the city of Nablus in the occupied West Bank on Wednesday.
The martyr was identified as Khalil Yahya Al-Anees from Ein Beit al-Ma' refugee camp. According to the Palestinian Red Crescent, Al-Anees who was killed sustained a wound to the head.
Israeli forces had sealed off Al-Muraij Street in order to storm the house of Osama Al-Tawil, a Palestinian prisoner who is one of the leaders of Lions' Den militant group, in preparation for demolition. Israel claims he was connected with the killing of a soldier in the northern West Bank in February.
Violent confrontations erupted after Israeli troops stormed the city, with some Palestinians firing weapons toward them.
The occupation forces used live and rubber bullets, as well as gas and stun grenades, to crackdown on Palestinians who resisted the raid.
