NABLUS (Ma’an) -- Israeli forces raided neighborhoods throughout the Nablus area in the occupied West Bank at dawn on Saturday as a search continues for the shooters in an attack that left two Israeli settlers dead Thursday night.

The heavily-armed forces ransacked homes and detained eight Palestinians, injuring ten with live fire when clashes erupted during the raids.

The Palestinian Red Crescent said: "10 people were wounded by live rounds to the legs or stomach," and "four others were wounded in beatings" by security forces.

Palestinian security sources told Ma’an that more than 40 Israeli military vehicles and Israeli intelligence forces raided the ad-Daheya neighborhood of Nablus.

Seven of the detainees were identified as Abdul-Karim Mena, Rasim Hattab, Raghib Eliwi, Zahi Kousa, Samir Kousa, Abdullah Kosa, and Bassam abu Ghazalah.

A resident of the neighborhood, Nazmi Hattab, was hit with live Israeli fire in his chest. His injuries were reported as serious.
Medical sources identified others injured as Diaa Aqouba, Samir Obeid, Hisham Antar, and Zaid Antar. All who sustained injuries were transferred to Rafidya Hospital for medical treatment, while many others suffocated from tear gas inhalation.

In Askar Refugee Camp in Nablus -- home to nearly 16,000 Palestinian refugees -- Israeli forces raided the home of Noud ad-Din Abu Hashya, believed to be involved in Thursday's shooting attack, Palestinian security sources said.

Israeli forces handed his family a notification for a demolition order on their home, expected to be carried out in the cramped refugee camp on Thursday of next week, they added.

An Israeli army spokesperson confirmed that Israeli forces had been in the Nablus area but gave no further information.

Those detained are believed to be Hamas affiliates.
