NABLUS, Palestine (AA) – At least 20 Palestinians were injured by Israeli fire during a military raid in the West Bank city of Nablus on Wednesday, according to the Health Ministry.

A ministry statement said four of those injured were in critical condition.

Israeli forces raided Nablus early Wednesday and surrounded a house in the Old City, triggering an exchange of fire with gunmen, eyewitnesses said. Explosions were also heard in the city.

Israeli forces repeatedly carried out raids in Nablus in search of members of an armed group known as the Lions’ Den, which emerged in the occupied West Bank last year.

Tel Aviv accuses the group of carrying out deadly attacks on Israeli targets.
