Israeli occupation forces stormed Dheisha refugee camp in Bethlehem, south of the occupied West Bank, leaving three Palestinians injured by gunfire, one of them seriously.

Palestinian security sources said clashes flared up in the camp shortly after an Israeli raid in the early morning hours, during which Israeli occupation soldiers unleashed live ammunition at locals.

Three Palestinians were injured in the Israeli assault, including a teenager who was shot in the chest and whose condition was described as critical. The other two wounded sustained injuries in the feet.

The wounded were rushed to neighboring Beit Jala Hospital for urgent treatment.
