Eyewitnesses said several armored Israeli military vehicles, and jeeps, invaded the al-Am'ari refugee camp, and surrounded a Palestinian home, near Um ash-Sharayet area, in the al-Biereh town.

Medical sources said 23 Palestinians were shot with live rounds, and five with the illegal “Toto” live rounds, which detonate upon impact, causing a larger and more extensive damage, while many others suffered the effects of tear gas inhalation.
