During the raid, young residents of the camp confronted the soldiers, who replied by firing live ammunition and tear gas canisters.
The child was rushed to the hospital where he was reported in critical condition.
The Palestinian Prisoners Club reported that Israeli forces detained Italian activist Stefania Costantini as they stormed the house of administrative prisoner Nidal Abu Aker at dawn and abused his family.
Israeli soldiers left the camp after arresting a 24-year-old youth following a raid at his family home.
