August 31, 2022

Israeli occupation soldiers injured, on Tuesday evening,  several Palestinian civilians in the al-Arroub refugee camp, north of Al-Khalil city, in the southern part of the occupied West Bank.

Local sources said the occupying soldiers invaded the main entrance area of the refugee camp and closed it, leading to protests.

The Israeli occupying soldiers fired live rounds, gas bombs, and concussion grenades, causing many Palestinians to suffer the effects of tear gas inhalation, they added.

The refugee camp is surrounded by the Efrat illegal settlement to its north and Gush Etzion illegal settlement block to its west and is repeatedly invaded and isolated by the Israeli occupation forces.
