caused at least twenty to suffer the effects of tear gas inhalation
while withdrawing from Rojeeb village, east of the northern West Bank
city of Nablus.</p>
<p>Media sources said dozens of soldiers surrounded a house owned by
members of the Sawalhi family in the western part of Rojeeb and fired
many shells at it before forcing the father of one of the Palestinians
to use a loudspeaker the army gave him to ask his son and another
Palestinians to surrender.</p>
<p>The army invaded the village to abduct two resistance fighters, Nabil
Eyad Sawalhi and Nihad Oweiss, and informed their families that they
would start demolishing the house they were held up in if they did not
surrender.</p>
<p><a href="https://imemc.org/article/israeli-soldiers-seriously-injure-a-palestinian-near-nablus/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hours into the invasion</a>,
the two Palestinians surrendered to avoid getting killed, and to
prevent the military from widening its offensive an issue that could
mean serious damage to many homes in the area and numerous casualties.</p>
<p>The army then started withdrawing from Rojeeb amidst massive protests
and fired a barrage of live rounds, rubber-coated steel bullets, gas
bombs, and concussion grenades.</p>
<p>Ahmad Jibreel, the head of the Nablus office of the Palestinian Red
Crescent Society (PRCS), said four Palestinians were shot with live
rounds, at least one seriously, three suffered shrapnel wounds, and one
was shot with a gas bomb in the chest before they were rushed to Rafidia
hospital.</p>
<p>Jibreel added that thirteen Palestinians suffered shrapnel wounds
from live fire, five were shot with rubber-coated steel bullets, four
fell and were injured while the soldiers chased them, and at least
twenty suffered the effects of tear gas inhalation and received
treatment at the scene without the need for hospitalization.</p>
<p>The soldiers also attacked Palestinian ambulances and prevented the
medics from reaching wounded Palestinians, especially in the besieged
house, for at least three hours.</p>
<p>Jibril condemned the Israeli escalation and said the soldiers not
only endangered the lives of civilians in the area, but also used medics
as human shields, and prevented them from performing their life-saving
duties.</p>
<p>The soldiers also fired live rounds at a Palestinian Medical Relief
ambulance, causing damage, and used their armored bulldozers to destroy
cars and other property.</p><br></div></div>
