The Health Ministry also said six wounded Palestinians, including one who suffered serious gunshot wounds to the back and the abdomen, were rushed to Nablus Speciality Hospital, seven, including a serious injury, to the Najah Hospital, and three to the Women’s Union Hospital.
The soldiers were opening fire at the Palestinians from small openings in their heavily armored jeeps that barely fit the barrel of the automatic rifles.
Media sources said the soldiers surrounded a home in the Sheikh Mosallam neighborhood to abduct several Palestinians, leading to protests, and exchanges of fire between the army and Palestinian resistance fighters in the Old City and surrounding areas.
The soldiers fired a barrage of live ammunition, gas bombs, and concussion grenades at the Palestinians protesting the invasion and also targeted journalists and medics with live fire.
Medical sources said the soldiers killed two Palestinians and shot fifty with live fire, including an elderly man and six young men who suffered life-threatening wounds, and a cameraman working for Palestine TV, and at least 250 suffered the effects of tear gas inhalation. Also among the wounded are three journalists who were shot with live fire.
The wounded journalists are Omar Istaitiyah, who suffered a bullet fragment wound to the ear, Mohammad Khatib, who was shot in the arm, and Ahmad Khalaf, who suffered the severe effects of tear gas inhalation.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said the soldiers are still encircling the home and surrounding area and denying its medics to reach it or the areas of protests.
The PRCS added that more than 250 Palestinians suffered the effects of tear gas inhalation.
Israeli sources said the soldiers and undercover officers invaded Nablus to abduct a “wanted Palestinian” and added that he was shot while fleeing the area in his car.
