OCCUPIED PALESTINE,  May 22 (YPA) – At least three young Palestinians were killed and injured six others, one of them seriously, by Israeli occupation forces  during a Zionist military raid on Balata refugee camp in the northern West Bank city of Nablus early this morning

The Palestinian Health Ministry identified the three martyrs as Muhammad Bilal Muhammad Zaytoun [32], Abdullah Yusuf Muhammad Abu-Hamdan [24], and Fathi Jihad Abdulsalam Rizq [30].

According to local sources, following the attack, the Zionist regime’s forces blocked the entrance to the camp, preventing ambulances and medical personnel from reaching the wounded.

Witnesses said a large force raided the camp in the early hours and deployed snipers on rooftops.

Clashes broke out between armed men and the soldiers which led to the killing of the three and the injury of six others, one no of them seriously.

The occupation soldiers also broke into dozens of homes in the camp, searched and ransacked them, and blew up one house for the Abu Shalal family injuring a young boy and girl from shrapnel and causing damage to nearby homes.
