On Sunday, October 12, Israeli forces stormed Aida refugee camp without any provocation and began shooting tear gas, sound bombs and rubber-coated steel bullets at children in the streets.According to eye witness and photographer Mohammad AL-Azza, ‘They were searching houses, occupying rooftops and invading the whole camp,’ further adding:
‘Yesterday, they were training soldiers by using families, children and homes as military practice. Tamer Abu Salem, 13 years old, was in Lajee Center moments before he was shot in the head with a rubber coated steel bullet. Tamer underwent emergency surgery after arriving at the hospital and he is still in the ICU. Before the soldiers left the camp, they shot two bullets through Lajee Center’s windows as punishment. The occupation is on-going, and our struggle continues.’
