The Ministry said that Anwar Abu as-Sebaa and his daughter Iman were injured after being run over by an Israeli military vehicle while they were standing in front of their home in the camp.
Palestinian security sources said an undercover Israeli force sneaked into the camp in the early morning hours of Saturday, followed by dozens of Israeli military vehicles, which stormed the camp from multiple directions, sparking confrontations with local residents. The confrontations are ongoing.
