The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced, at dawn today, Monday, that the number of martyrs, during the Israeli occupation forces’ raid into the Balata refugee camp, east of Nablus, has risen to three, in addition to the injury of six citizens, one of them seriously.

The Palestinian news agency "Wafa" reported that the three Palestinian martyrs are Fathi Jihad Abdel Salam Rizk (30 years old), Abdullah Yusef Muhammad Abu Hamdan (24 years old), and Muhammad Bilal Muhammad Zaytoun (32 years old).

Large forces of the Israeli occupation army stormed Balata camp at dawn today, amid heavy shooting and violent confrontations, which led to the death of three young men, and the wounding of at least six others, one of whom was critically wounded.

The Palestinian news agency said, quoting eyewitnesses in the camp, that the occupation forces deployed snipers on the roofs of some houses, and prevented ambulances and medical personnel from entering the camp and evacuating the injured.
