On Wednesday, Israeli forces shot two Palestinian young men and abducted four others, in the city of Tubas and the Al-Far’a refugee camp, south of Tubas in the northeastern part of the occupied West Bank.
Media sources said that occupation forces invaded the city of Tubas and the Al-Far’a refugee camp south of the city, at dawn Wednesday, accompanied by military bulldozers, sparking protests.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said that its ambulance crews transported two citizens to the hospital, one in Tubas and one in Al-Far’a camp, after they sustained shrapnel wounds from live ammunition.
Sources added that Israeli forces stormed the city of Tubas, at dawn, stormed many homes, and abducted four Palestinian young men from their homes.
According to Kamal Bani Oda, the director of the Palestinian Prisoners’ Society (PPS) in Tubas, Israeli soldiers abducted the brothers, Iyad and Hazem Mustafa Al-Muslimani, both of whom are former prisoners, after breaking into their home in Tubas.
Oda reported that the army invaded the homes of the two young men, Islam Shafiq Kharaaz and Mustafa Shahrouri, in Tubas city, before abducting them; adding that the young man, Shahrouri was abducted in an attempt to coerce his brother, Uday, to turn himself into the army.
After besieging the Al-Far’a refugee camp, soldiers invaded several citizens’ homes, converting one of them into a military barrack, using it as a sniper’s den, amid the overhead flight of reconnaissance drones and an attack helicopter.
Military bulldozers destroyed vital infrastructure and citizens’ property in the Al-Far’a camp, while armed Palestinian resistance fighters exchanged fire with the attacking army.
