RAMALLAH, Israeli occupation forces injured five Palestinians today and arrested another three during an early morning raid of Jalazon refugee camp, to the north of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank, local sources said.

Witnesses told WAFA that confrontations erupted soon after Israeli army patrols broke into the camp, during which one Palestinian young man was injured by a live Israeli gunshot in his abdomen, and was rushed to a nearby hospital for medical treatment.

The other four wounded were hit in the lower limbs by rubber-coated rounds, and were treated at the scene by local medics.

At least three Palestinians were arrested during the raid, including Saeed Nakhla, 64, a former prisoner in Israeli jails, and an 18-year-old teenager, Ahmad Mahmoud Amer, who was reportedly beaten and physically assaulted by the Israeli soldiers during the detention.
