At least 80 Palestinians injured in Israeli raid on Nablus

At least 80 Palestinians have been injured in an ongoing Israeli raid on Nablus in the occupied West Bank, Al Jazeera is reporting.

Residents said the raid began around 3:00 am and has lasted more than 13 hours, with soldiers storming several neighborhoods in the old city, home to about 30,000 people.

The Israeli military confirmed to AFP it was conducting an operation without specifying its purpose.

Nablus’s old city has been the site of repeated major raids, including in 2022, 2023, and during the second intifada in 2002.
