WEST BANK, Jan. 04 (YPA) – A Palestinian young man was killed and nine others were injured on Friday evening when the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) stormed Balata refugee camp in eastern Nablus, north of the West Bank, and opened fire at local residents.

The Palestinian health ministry said that 18-year-old Mohamed Amer was killed by the IOF’s gunfire in Balata camp, adding that several wounded citizens were rushed to hospitals, including four in serious condition.
