The source stated that the army was targeting Sami Mohammad al-Ghoul, 29, member of the Al Quds Brigades, the armed wing of the Islamic Jihad. Troops surrounded his house in order to force him to surrender.

During the invasion, Omar Sbeih, 36, was wounded by Israeli military gun fire while he was in his own shop near the surrounded house. He was moved to a hospital in Nablus suffering serious injuries.

Medical sources reported that Sbeih lost a lot of blood before receiving medical help because soldiers barred the medics from entering the area.

Furthermore, several residents suffered breathing problems as they were exposed to gas fired by the invading troops, and were treated by field medics.

Local sources reported that the army withdrew from the camp without taking anyone prisoner. Apparently, Al-Ghoul was not at home when troops invaded the area.
