On Wednesday, several armored Israeli military vehicles invaded the Old City of Nablus, Palestinians in the northern part of the occupied West Bank, killed three Palestinians, including an elder, shot more than fifty, including three journalists, and seven Palestinians who suffered serious wounds, and caused 250 to suffer the effects of tear gas inhalation.
The soldiers were opening fire at the Palestinians from small openings in their heavily armored jeeps that barely fit the barrel of the automatic rifles.
Media sources said the soldiers surrounded a home in the Sheikh Mosallam neighborhood to abduct several Palestinians, leading to protests, and exchanges of fire between the army and Palestinian resistance fighters in the Old City and surrounding areas.
The soldiers fired a barrage of live ammunition, gas bombs, and concussion grenades at the Palestinians protesting the invasion and also targeted journalists and medics with live fire.
The wounded journalists are Omar Istaitiyah, who suffered a bullet fragment wound to the ear, Mohammad Khatib, who was shot in the arm, and Ahmad Khalaf, who suffered the severe effects of tear gas inhalation.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said the soldiers are still encircling the home and surrounding area and denying its medics to reach it or the areas of protests.
The PRCS added that more than 250 Palestinians suffered the effects of tear gas inhalation.
Israeli sources said the soldiers and undercover officers invaded Nablus to abduct a “wanted Palestinian” and added that he was shot while fleeing the area in his car;
