On Wednesday morning, undercover Israeli soldiers infiltrated the Aqabat Jaber refugee camp southwest of Jericho in the occupied West Bank’s northeastern part, killed one Palestinian, and abducted two others.

Media sources said the undercover soldiers infiltrated the refugee camp before Israeli army jeeps invaded it to abduct Palestinians.

They added that many Palestinians protested the invasion before the soldiers fired a barrage of live rounds, rubber-coated steel bullets, and gas bombs.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said the soldiers killed Dirgham Mohammad Yahia Al-Akhras, 19, after shooting him with a live round in the head.

PRCS medics rushed Dirgham to Jericho governmental hospital where he was officially pronounced dead to the gunshot wound to the head.

The army pushed more military vehicles into the refugee camp before the soldiers initiated massive and violent searches of homes, causing damage, and interrogated scores of Palestinians.

The soldiers also abducted Yassin Marwan Hamdan and his uncle, Mohammad Hamdan, from their homes in the refugee camp.

Also Wednesday dawn, the Health Ministry said the young man, Ata Yasser Ata Mousa, 29, from Marka village, south of Jenin, succumbed to serious wounds suffered In Jenin Tuesday, when the soldiers killed three Palestinians.

The Health Ministry added that Ata was shot when the soldiers killed Mahmoud Ali Nafe’ Saadi, 23, Mahmoud Khaled Ar’arawi, 24, and Rafat Omar Khamaisa, 22, and injured 30 Palestinians, including some who suffered critical wounds in the Jenin refugee camp.

In the Gaza Strip, Israeli soldiers killed Yousef Salem Yousef Radwan, 25, from Bani Soheila town, east of Khan Younis, in the Gaza Strip’s southern part.
