Israeli forces shoot elderly man in occupied West Bank

Israeli forces shot a 65-year-old Palestinian man in the back during their raid into Balata refugee camp, east of Nablus, in the occupied West Bank, said the Wafa news agency, citing Palestinian Red Crescent sources.

The injured man was taken to hospital, the report said.

Local sources told Wafa that Israeli soldiers stormed the camp, and fired live bullets, gas and sound bombs. The raid resulted in violent clashes. 

The Israeli forces deployed their snipers on the roofs of some buildings around the camp, the agency said.
