NABLUS, August 27, 2025 (WAFA) - Two Palestinian citizens were injured on Wednesday by Israeli forces’ live bullets and dozens suffocated from tear gas during the ongoing Israeli military raid on the city of Nablus.
The Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) reported that its teams handled 37 injuries, including two from live bullets, 27 from tear gas, five from rubber-coated metal bullets, one from shrapnel, and two due to falls and assault, during the raid on the Old City.
The raid lasted for nearly 14 hours, resulting in two detentions and forcing several families to leave their homes, which were then converted into military observation posts.
According to local and security sources, dozens of military vehicles raided the city and deployed their troops in its center, placing the Old City under siege and conducting a wide-scale raid campaign.
Forces raided citizens' homes, forcing several families in the Al-Qasaba neighborhood to leave and ordering them to return in the afternoon.
Forces also deployed across the city's neighborhoods, positioned snipers in the Sufian Street area and Martyrs' Square in the city center, and raided several commercial shops in the Ras al-Ain area.
On June 11, 2025, large Israeli forces swept through the historic alleys of Nablus amid heavy gunfire and tear gas. The Old City of Nablus witnessed one of the most violent and prolonged Israeli raids, during which homes were forcibly raided, families were ordered to leave, commercial shops were looted and destroyed, and historic buildings, including Khan al-Wakalah, were converted into military barracks.
