Local sources reported that a large number of Israeli occupation forces raided the Old City of Nablus at around 10 am local time and besieged a house where two wanted Palestinian youths were inside. The two were Isleem and Abu Baker, who are reportedly members of the resistance group the Lions’ Den, and they were both killed as they refused to surrender.
Residents confronted the Israeli soldiers as the latter fired live bullets, tear gas and sound bombs at the houses and shops, causing many suffocation cases, most of them children and women.
Sources added that Israeli forces fired missiles at the targeted building and snipers were seen stationed in the surrounding area. A military helicopter was also spotted flying over the city.
The Red Crescent in Nablus said the Israeli forces prevented its ambulances from reaching and evacuating the wounded in the old city.
