An Israeli military operation targeting the Qalandiya refugee camp, situated north of occupied Jerusalem, left eight Palestinians injured, according to the Palestine Red Crescent Society. This incident unfolded on Wednesday, with Israeli forces breaching the camp and the adjoining town of Kafr Aqab. The onset of what Israel described as a large-scale military campaign was announced after the intrusion.
The Israeli military imposed a curfew, positioned snipers on rooftops of residences, barred access to major thoroughfares, and prohibited dawn prayers at mosques in the vicinity. As a result of the operation, several Palestinians were apprehended, and a journalist covering the event was physically assaulted. Furthermore, journalists were targeted by soldiers firing stun grenades, as reported by Wafa news.
The Qalandiya camp is home to over 15,000 Palestinian refugees. The area in question is part of the occupied East Jerusalem neighborhood of Altur.
