HEBRON /PNN /
A Palestinian youth was shot and killed and several others were injured on Sunday by Israeli occupation forces’ gunfire during a military raid on the Al-Arroub refugee camp, north of Hebron, according to local sources.
Local sources that Israeli forces stormed the camp, deploying snipers on the rooftops of several homes and the windows of a mosque and attacking residents with live fire and tear gas canisters. A youth, 27, was shot and seriously injured in the abdomen.
The twenty-seven-year-old youth, a first Sergeant in the Customs Police Authority who was identified as Mohammed Ahmad Hdoosh, was rushed to the Beit Fajjar Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead shortly after.
Confrontations broke out with Israeli forces in the camp following the killing of Hdoosh, resulting in the injury of four young men by live ammunition in their lower limbs. They were taken to hospital for treatment.
Abdul Hai Jawabra, an activist in the Al-Arroub camp, said that Israeli incursions into the camp have notably intensified in recent weeks.
He further explained that Israeli forces have reinforced their blockade of the main and secondary entrances to the camp, severely hindering residents' access to medical centers and hospitals outside.
