Tonight, during the occupation's incursion into Aqabat Jabr refugee camp in Jericho, 13 Palestinian young men were injured with bullets, including one who was diagnosed with critical injury. Also, 14 others were arrested. 

Sources: Numerous numbers of the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) broke into the camp from different sides, and deployed on the houses’ roofs. They also invaded 50 houses, and fired missiles at a civilian house after besieging it.  

In that connection, the IOF fired tear gas canisters and stun grenades toward the young men and houses. As a result, 13 young men were injured, including one critically. Not only that, but they prevented the ambulances from reaching the scene to treat the wounded. 

Eid Barahma, the director of Palestinian Prisoners Club in Jericho, stated that the IOF arrested 14 young men during a raid on the camp.
