Israeli forces continue storming Tubas-area camp, fire at medical crews

The Israeli occupation forces continue storming of Al-Far'a camp, south of Tubas, since midnight last night, sending in more new military reinforcements from al-Hamra military checkpoint. WAFA correspondent said that the occupation forces continue storming of the camp, amidst an intensive deployment of snipers and infantry forces throughout it, as confrontations, that include shooting and explosions from time to time, broke out. She added that the occupation soldiers raided a number of citizens' homes and began searching them, in addition to detaining several citizens. In conjunction with these raids, the occupation forces opened fire randomly inside the camp, while its military bulldozers are destroying the infrastructure. The occupation forces had stormed the camp, at midnight, from Al-Hamra military checkpoint, with several military patrols accompanied by two bulldozers, one of which was a D9 tracked bulldozer, and were present on the main street leading to the camp for a period of time, causing damage to it before entering and storming the camp. Local sources also reported that an occupation aircraft had dropped soldiers earlier that night in the camp's vicinity from the northern and southern sides. The occupation forces also committed violations against ambulance crews during the storming of the camp, as sources in the Red Crescent reported that the occupation forces fired live bullets at the Red Crescent ambulance point inside the camp and demanded that the crews and volunteers close the point and withdraw from it. Medics confirmed to WAFA that when the occupation soldiers stormed the ambulance point in the camp, they fired at the ground at their feet and above their heads, and forced them to close the ambulance point and leave it. The occupation soldiers intercepted one of the ambulances, searched it, and stopped it for an hour and a half, and cursed and assaulted the paramedics with obscene words, and detained paramedic Ahmed Muhammad Odeh from inside it, where he remained detained for about three hours before being released.
