Nablus: Six Palestinians sustained injuries from Israeli army gunfire in the Balata refugee camp, east of the occupied West Bank city of Nablus, according to the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS).
According to Palestine News and Information Agency - WAFA, the Director of the PRCS Center, Amid Ahmad, reported that PRCS crews provided first aid to six civilians injured by Israeli army gunfire before transporting them to a hospital. Ahmad detailed that four of the individuals sustained injuries from live ammunition, while two others were wounded by rubber-coated steel bullets.
Ahmad further noted that a minor was injured in the face by a tear gas canister, five people suffered bruises from assaults by Israeli soldiers, and 50 individuals experienced suffocation due to excessive tear gas inhalation.
