WAFA reported that an undercover unit of the Israeli occupation forces infiltrated the camp in the early morning.
Additional Israeli military reinforcements were deployed to the area at a later moment, with snipers taking positions on the rooftops of several homes and buildings across the camp.
Eyewitnesses recounted that Israeli soldiers attempted to obstruct the passage of Red Crescent ambulances, preventing them from reaching the wounded.
