Several Palestinians were left injured on Thursday after Israeli occupation forces raided Shuafat refugee camp in occupied Jerusalem and teargassed civilians.

Heavily-armed Israeli forces were spotted on the rooftops of Palestinian homes in the camp and fired teargas and rubber-coated rounds at civilians.

Local sources said dozens of Palestinian refugees choked on teargas.

At the same time, Israeli police officers forced owners of commercial stores in the neighborhood to shut down their stores.
