Israeli soldiers kill six Palestinians in West Bank refugee camp

At least six Palestinians were killed by Israeli troops in a refugee camp in the occupied West Bank on Friday, the Palestinian health ministry has said. 

Israeli forces raided the Far’a camp, 17 kilometres northeast of Nablus, for two hours in the early hours of the morning. 

Local media said residents confronted them by hurling stones in some areas while armed clashes were heard in other locations. 

Israeli forces and settlers have killed at least 476 Palestinians in the West Bank this year, 268 of them killed since 7 October.
