Several Israeli army jeeps invaded, on Saturday at dawn, Aqabat Jaber refugee camp, southeast of Jericho, in northeastern West Bank, shot and injured two young men, and abducted one, during ensuing protests.

Media sources said the soldiers invaded the refugee camp and started driving around its narrow streets and alleys, leading to protests.

They added that the soldiers fired many live rounds, rubber-coated steel bullets, and gas bombs at the protesters, and surrounding homes.
