’Israeli’ Forces Shoot Palestinian, Detain 2 in Duheisha Camp Raid
Local Editor
"Israeli" forces Monday morning shot and injured a young Palestinian man during a raid in al-Duheisha refugee camp and detained two others.
Locals reported that at 6 a.m., undercover "Israeli" occupation forces [IOF] in a civilian vehicle raided al-Duheisha -- located just south of central Bethlehem in the southern occupied West Bank -- to carry out detentions.
Local youth noticed the suspicious vehicle and surrounded it before they clashed with the undercover officers.
A young man, who remained unidentified, was shot in the leg during the clashes.
"Israeli" military vehicles then stormed the camp and together with the undercover officers managed, despite the clashes, to detain Mustafa al-Hasanat, 23, and Yazan Jueidi, 23.
Violent clashes in al-Duheisha are common and break out nearly every time "Israeli" forces storm the camp, which is located in Area A and should be under full Palestinian control, according to the so-called Oslo agreements.
Al-Duheisha refugee camp was established in 1949, with most of the families originating from more than 46 villages in al-Quds. Over 13,000 refugees now live in the 0.352-square-kilometer camp, where around one-third of residents are unemployed.
