On Saturday, Israeli soldiers invaded an area near the Balata refugee camp, east of Nablus in the occupied West Bank’s northern part, leading to protests, and shot three Palestinians, including one child.

Media sources said several Israeli military vehicles invaded the Al-Quds Street area, adjacent to the Balata refugee camp, leading to protests.

They added that the soldiers fired many live rounds, rubber-coated steel bullets, gas bombs, and concussion grenades.

Ahmad Jibril, the spokesperson of the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) in Nablus, said the soldiers shot three Palestinians with live fire, including a child, 14, who was shot in the thigh before the medics rushed them to a hospital in Nablus.

On Friday evening, Palestinian medical sources confirmed the death of a medic, Tamer Jalal Mohammad Saqer, 21, who was shot and seriously injured by the Israeli army fire a week earlier in Balata refugee camp, east of the northern West Bank city of Nablus.

Tamer was injured from live fire after the army fired a missile from a drone at a home in Balata refugee camp, last Saturday, July 27, 2023, and fired live rounds at protesters, killing two Palestinians, including a child, and wounding at least twenty.

On Thursday, the soldiers shot a Palestinian young man in the village of Qusra, southeast of Nablus, and abducted five citizens in the city of Nablus, in the northern occupied West Bank.
