Israeli army raids Palestinian refugee camp in West Bank
JERICHO, Palestine (AA) – The Israeli army on Monday raided the Aqabat Jabr refugee camp in eastern West Bank, triggering clashes with local Palestinians, witnesses said.
According to these witnesses, the Israelis besieged a Palestinian home, and detained one person before withdrawing from the camp.
At least two Palestinians were injured from gunfire and dozens were affected by tear gas during the clashes, medics said.
Tensions have been running high across the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, in recent months amid repeated Israeli raids into Palestinian towns.
