More than 20 Palestinians wounded since morning

Days of Palestine, West Bank –Israeli occupation forces have shot, wounded at least 20 Palestinians as they stormed Al-Am’ari Refugee Camp in the occupied West Bank city of Ramallah on Monday.

The Palestinians were wounded during clashes that erupted after the Israeli occupation forces stormed the Refugee camp and surrounded a Palestinian home.

Sources reported more than 20 Israeli military vehicles were used in the raid. They also said that the Israeli occupation forces arrested the house’s owner and his son.

The attack came a day after five Palestinians were shot dead by Israeli forces in the northern part of the occupied West Bank.

Since the start of October 2015, at least 181 Palestinians have been killed by the Israeli occupation forces and more than 5,000 others were wounded in the occupied West Bank, Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip.

Tensions heightened in the Palestinian territories in August 2015, when Israel imposed restrictions on the entry of Palestinian worshipers into the al-Aqsa Mosque compound in East al-Quds.

On February 11, a UN human rights expert slammed the Israeli occupation for using excessive force against Palestinian protesters amid ongoing tensions between the two sides in the occupied territories.

Makarim Wibisono, the UN special rapporteur on human rights in the Palestinian territories, said the upsurge in violence was a “grim reminder” of the unsustainable human rights situation throughout the occupied territories.
