Earlier on Wednesday, Israeli soldiers invaded the village of Burqa, northwest of Nablus in the occupied West Bank’s northern part, assaulted three Palestinians, and occupied homes after isolating the village.
Media sources reported that several military vehicles invaded the village from multiple directions before the soldiers stormed and ransacked homes.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) stated that the soldiers assaulted and injured three Palestinians, 17, 19, and 24, before its medics rushed them to a hospital in Nablus.
Ziad Abu Omar, the Mayor of Burqa, said a large military force invaded the village after surrounding it, preventing Palestinians from entering or leaving, before the military vehicles stormed several neighborhoods.
He added that the soldiers fired rubber-coated steel bullets, gas bombs, and concussion grenades.
Abu Omar also mentioned that the soldiers occupied a Palestinian home in the center of the village and raised Israeli flags, and flags of their military units, on its rooftop.
The soldiers stormed and ransacked dozens of homes in the village, including the mayor’s property, causing damage.
It is worth mentioning that the local schools had to delay the beginning of the school day to ensure the students’ safety.
On Wednesday at dawn, Israeli soldiers abducted at least six Palestinians in Jenin, Qalqilia, and Ramallah, in the occupied West Bank.
