Palestinian Red Crescent says its medics treated several people in old city of Nablus
Israeli army forces shot and wounded four Palestinians, including two critically, on Tuesday during a military raid in the West Bank city of Nablus, local media said.
The injuries occurred when Israeli forces raided the old city of Nablus, triggering clashes with angry residents, the official news agency Wafa reported.
Wafa said Israeli forces blocked ambulances and medics from reaching the site to evacuate those injured.
The Palestinian Red Crescent confirmed that its medics treated several people in the area, including three who sustained gunshot wounds.
Since the start of Israel's assault on Gaza on Oct. 7, 2023, at least 974 Palestinians have been killed and more than 7,000 injured in the West Bank by Israeli forces and settlers, the Palestinian Health Ministry said.
In a landmark opinion last July, the International Court of Justice declared Israel's occupation of Palestinian territory illegal and called for the evacuation of all settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
