MOSCOW (Sputnik) - At least six Palestinians were injured as a result of an Israeli raid on Aqabat Jabr refugee camp in the city of Jericho in the West Bank, a Palestinian news agency reported on Saturday, citing health authorities.
Israeli forces opened fire at Palestinians in the refugee camp, as well as fired tear gas and stun grenades. In addition, the soldiers completely destroyed a poultry farm on the camp’s territory, the report said.
The news agency cited the Palestinian Health Ministry as saying that the people injured in gunfire were hospitalized in Jericho, and three of them were then transferred to hospitals in the neighboring city of Ramallah due to the severity of their state.
The Israeli forces also detained at least 10 Palestinians from different families during the raid, the news agency reported.
