Qalandia: A Palestinian sustained injury from Israeli army fire on the outskirts of Qalandia refugee camp, north of Jerusalem, according to local sources. They reported that a sizable occupying force stormed the refugee camp and unleashed barrages of tear gas and stun grenades at young men, resulting in one injury.
According to Palestine News and Information Agency - WAFA, the occupation forces expanded their incursion to include the town of Kafr 'Aqab and Airport Road adjacent to the camp. The forces deployed their vehicles along the main streets, firing sound grenades and tear gas at youths, causing panic among residents, particularly children.
The Jerusalem Governorate announced in a statement that the occupation forces stormed several residential buildings, forcing the occupants out and occupying their balconies and rooftops as sniping posts. The forces fired tear gas canisters, sound grenades, live ammunition, and rubber-coated bullets during the incursion.
In the course of the incursion, the occupying forces issued traffic citations to a large number of Palestinian vehicles and deliberately damaged others. Concurrently, the forces tore down sections of Israel's apartheid wall at the end of Airport Road, allowing for the large-scale deployment of soldiers along Jerusalem Road adjacent to the refugee camp, and on Al-Ma'had Street and Airport Road, facilitating the entry of dozens of military vehicles.
This incursion is part of a wider campaign aimed at imposing tighter security control over areas located behind the apartheid wall, particularly Qalandiya Refugee Camp and Kafr 'Aqab, which have recently experienced an escalation in raids and military measures, including road closures and tighter checkpoints.
