Clashes Erupt as Israeli Forces raid Qalandia refugee camp

 Several Palestinians were wounded in fierce clashes that broke out in Qalandiya refugee camp early Wednesday when Israeli forces stormed the camp to demolish the family home of a Palestinian martyr.

    Palestinian news agency (Ma'an) quoted local sources as saying that Israeli forces entered the camp to tear down the interior walls of the home of 17-year-old Hussein Abu Ghosh, who was shot dead on January 25 when he and another young Palestinian stabbed and wounded two Israelis in the illegal West Bank settlement of Beit Horon.

    As the demolition was carried out, fierce clashes broke out, and a local information center said on Facebook that several young residents of the refugee camp were shot and wounded.

    Local sources inside the camp said Israeli forces also detained resident Hasan Sajadiya after he was shot and injured, and were also reported to have ransacked the home of resident Nasser Shaham.

    Israeli media reported that two Israeli soldiers sustained minor wounds during the raid.
