The Palestinian Health Ministry announced on Tuesday that the death toll in the city of Nablus at the hands of the Israeli army has risen to 6, in addition to 20 injured.
According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, this happened during the invasion of the Israeli army into the center of the city of Nablus. Local sources have confirmed to AFP that the Israeli army is still besieging several places in the city where explosions are heard from time to time.
Earlier, Ahmed Jibril, director of the Red Crescent Ambulance Service in Nablus, said: “Medical teams have eliminated 3 dead and 19 wounded by live bullets, including those with serious injuries.” This number later rose to 5 dead and 20 wounded. He added that the wounded were transferred to the Rafidia hospital and the Arab hospital in Nablus.
At the same time, the Wafa agency reported that Israeli forces stormed several blocks in the city’s Old City after they were bombed, where the sounds of gunshots and explosions were heard, and plumes of smoke and flames were visible coming from several blocks. This was also reportedly followed by an outbreak of violent clashes between civilians and Israeli forces, who sent large military reinforcements backed by drones. The Israeli army prevented ambulances from reaching the Old City to transport many of the wounded who fell during the assault on the city.
