WEST BANK (Dispatches) – Eighty six Palestinians were injured by the Zionist regime’s army during a raid on the city of Nablus in the northern occupied West Bank.
“The Palestine Red Crescent Society’s staff dealt with 86 injuries during clashes that broke out between Palestinians and the Israeli army in the vicinity of Joseph’s Tomb, east of Nablus,” the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said in a statement on Wednesday.
“Among injuries, there was a serious injury due to live bullets, five serious injuries due to metal bullets and gas canisters, and 80 others due to tear gas inhalation,” the PRCS added.
The occupying regime’s army also beaten up young Palestinians resisting a raid by Zionist troops on the Joseph’s Tomb area, east of Nablus on Wednesday.
Eyewitnesses added that clashes also broke out between Palestinian gunmen and the Israeli army, who used live and metal ammunition and tear gas canisters.
The site has long been a flashpoint for violence.
Meanwhile, Secretary General of the Islamic Jihad movement Ziad al-Nakhala has met and conferred with the deputy secretary-general of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) in a show of unity with Palestinian resistance groups after the recent Zionist onslaught on the besieged Gaza Strip.
Nakhala, in the presence of leaders from the movement, received Jamil Muzher, who was accompanied by a leading delegation from the PFLP.
The official website of the Islamic Jihad movement said the two sides reviewed the political and field situation during the Palestinian resistance groups’ retaliatory operation — codenamed Revenge of the Free — after the Zionist aggression, expressing their high appreciation of the positions of the families of the martyrs and the role of the popular support in Gaza.
They also reviewed the field management of the battle, which foiled the objectives of the Zionist aggression.
The two sides underlined the continued functioning of the control and field command system and the effective targeting and direction of fire, despite the martyrdom of a few of the leaders of the al-Quds Brigades and its fighters, which forced the enemy to accept the condition of the resistance in pledging to stop targeting individuals, as well as civilians and residential buildings.
