Five Palestinian young men sustained gunfire injuries today during an Israeli army incursion into Askar refugee camp, near the city of Nablus in the occupied West Bank, according to Palestinian security sources.
Dozens of Israeli military vehicles forced their way into the camp, located about two kilometers east of the city, provoking clashes with local residents.
