OCCUPIED PALESTINE, April 20 (YPA) – The Israeli occupation army today killed five Palestinians and injured others in the course of its ongoing large-scale offensive in Nour Shams refugee camp, east of the occupied West Bank city of Tulkarm.

According to Palestinian sources, the occupation forces continue their large-scale offensive in Nour Shams refugee camp for the second day, killing at least five people, including a child, and injuring others. At least four casualties were rushed to a nearby hospital.

They confirmed that the occupation forces were still withholding the bodies of the victims and preventing ambulance crews from reaching them.

Meanwhile, the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said its crews managed to evacuate two live ammunition casualties from the camp to the Thabet Thabet Government Hospital.

It added that Israeli soldiers obstructed PRCS emergency ambulance crews from helping injured people in the camp, forced the casualties out of ambulances and inspected their identity cards.
