Israeli forces wounded a Palestinian teenager on Monday during an incursion into the Askar Old Refugee Camp, located east of Nablus in the northern West Bank.

The Palestinian Red Crescent reported that the 18-year-old sustained a live ammunition wound to the thigh and was subsequently transported to a hospital for treatment.

Meanwhile Israeli forces have continued their raid on the camp since the dawn hours, storming and searching several homes while conducting field interrogations of local residents.
