RAMALLAH: The Israeli army raided the West Bank city of Ramallah on Tuesday, leaving 14 people wounded as troops fanned out across the city center, the Palestinian Red Crescent said.
Tensions have remained high in the occupied West Bank since Hamas’s October 2023 attack on Israel which sparked the Gaza war, with repeated raids by the Israeli army on Palestinian population centers, particularly in the north.
The Red Crescent said at least 14 people were wounded in the latest raid. Seven were hit by live rounds, while the rest were injured by rubber bullets or tear-gas inhalation.
It added that Israeli forces were “preventing our teams from reaching the injured in a besieged area.”
An AFP journalist saw soldiers on the ground around Al-Manara Square in the city center and on balconies overlooking it.
