The sources, preferred not to be named, at the Rafidia Governmental Hospital in Nablus, told Anadolu Agency that a civilian arrived at the hospital suffering from serious injuries, but lost his life.

Meanwhile, some eyewitnesses told Anadolu Agency that Israeli soldiers stormed the Balata camp to arrest Palestinians, and clashes erupted with a number of young men in the refugee camp.

They added that the Israeli soldiers used live bullets and tear gas canisters, while young men threw stones at the forces.
