Thursday in occupied Jerusalem, dozens of soldiers, undercover forces and personnel of the City Council, invaded Shu’fat refugee camp, and surrounded many areas occupying their rooftops before storming and searching several buildings.
"The soldiers were also accompanied by bulldozers, and invaded many areas, especially the main road near the military roadblock at the entrance of the refugee camp, in addition to Ras Khamis and Shehada areas," Media sources said
The soldiers also stopped and searched dozens of schoolchildren and interrogated many Palestinians while inspecting their ID cards, in addition to several buses.
The invasion was carried out one day after the army demolishing nineteen stores and shops, an issue raising fears among the Palestinians of further destruction of property in the refugee camp.
After surrounding and isolating the refugee camp completely, the soldiers used bulldozers to remove the rubble of the demolished stores.
On Wednesday at night, the soldiers invaded many areas in the refugee camp firing live rounds, gas bombs and concussion grenades at local youngsters, who protested the invasion and hurled stones at the army vehicles.
Senior social and political leaders in occupied Jerusalem have warned that the escalating Israeli violations against Shu’fat refugee camp are a part of a wider policy arming at ending the work of the UNRWA there.
