Amidst Israel’s continued incursions in different parts of the occupied West Bank, at least five people were injured in Nablus including two children.

Over five Palestinians including two children were injured on Sunday by the Israeli occupation fire during a military raid in the city of Nablus in the occupied West Bank, Anadolu news agency reported.

Medical sources at the Palestinian Red Crescent Society quoted by Anadolu stated that they treated five wounded Palestinians including two children, aged 13 and 15 who remain in hospital for further treatment.
