Palestinians in Jenin march against deadly raid on Nur Shams

Palestinians in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin have taken to the streets to protest against the Israeli army raid on Nur Shams that has killed at least 14 people, reports the Wafa news agency.

The demonstrators marched through the streets of Jenin and the neighbouring Jenin refugee camp denouncing the ongoing Israeli massacres of Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and the Gaza Strip, Wafa said.

They also called on the international community to urgently intervene to protect the Palestinian people.


The demonstrators protested against the raid on Nur Shams refugee camp, where Israeli soldiers blocked ambulances from reaching the killed and injured, in the occupied West Bank on Saturday

Israeli raid on Nur Shams lasted about three days

We are following at least five active raids across the occupied West Bank, primarily focusing on the Nablus, Hebron and Ramallah areas. At least one Palestinian has been arrested in Nablus. In Hebron, in the village of Beit Ummar, Israeli forces are invading one of the homes, reportedly looking for someone.

We just saw this raid in the Nur Shams refugee camp in Tulkarem that lasted for around three days. This has been a nightly occurrence for Palestinians across the occupied Palestinian territory since the war began.

At least 483 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces in these military incursions, more than 1,300 others arrested and nearly 5,000 others have been wounded by Israeli fire.

One of the other themes we see is our medics who are prevented from getting to the scene from doing their jobs by the Israeli army. So Palestinians say that they are quite exhausted from these military incursions but it is a continuation of the realities of life under Israeli occupation.


Tulkarem governor calls for strike, day of public mourning over Nur Shams raid

Mustafa Taqatqa, the governor of Tulkarem, has called for a general strike in the occupied West Bank and a day of mourning on Sunday to protest an Israeli raid on the Nur Shams refugee camp that killed 14 Palestinians.

“All these crimes will not affect the determination of our people and their free will, leading to the end of the occupation and the establishment of our independent Palestinian state,” he was quoted as saying by the Wafa news agency.
