NABLUS, April 9, 2025 (WAFA) – Six Palestinians Wednesday evening sustained injuries from Israeli army gunfire in the Balata refugee camp, east of the occupied West Bank city of Nablus, according to the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS).

Director of the PRCS Center, Amid Ahmad, said that PRCS crews provided first aid treatment to six civilians who sustained injuries from Israeli army gunfire before rushing them to a hospital.

Ahmad added that four of the casualties sustained live ammunition injuries and the two others were hit by rubber-coated steel bullets.

Meanwhile, Ahmad said that a minor sustained an injury to the face after being directly hit by a tear gas canister, five people bruises due to being assaulted by Israeli soldiers and 50 others suffocated from excessive tear gas inhalation.

He pointed out that PRCS crews evacuated 21 patients, including four minors, from the refugee camp to hospitals in the course of the army raid.

The occupation forces barged their way into the camp in the pre-dawn hours of Wednesday, deploying extensively in the refugee camp and sealing off its entrances.

The soldiers ordered a number of families out of their houses at gunpoint and ransacked their houses, causing destruction.
