RESTRICTION SUMMARY: APAwire CLIENTS ONLY SHOTLIST: APAwire - APAwire CLIENTS ONLY, Jericho- 04 February 2023. Palestinians check damage in a house which was destroyed by Israeli troops during a military raid in Jericho, in the West Bank. STORYLINE: After seven days of a military siege of the ancient tourist city of Jericho, east of the West Bank, a large Israeli force early this morning raided the city and specifically Aqbat Jabr refugee camp, on its outskirt, according to witnesses. They said the soldiers opened live fire at Palestinians in the camp and fired tear gas and stun grenades while calling on people at a section of the camp to come out of their homes in rainy weather. The soldiers broke into a poultry farm in the camp, destroying it in total, said witnesses. The Ministry of Health said six people were injured by the army gunfire and taken to Jericho hospital, where one was shot in the chest and belly and reported in serious condition while the others were shot in the limbs. It said the Israeli forces have obstructed entry of Palestinian medics and health personnel to reach their workplaces in Jericho. Jericho hospital said three of the injured in the incursion were transferred to hospitals in Ramallah due to the seriousness of their injuries. Before leaving Jericho, the army reportedly detained 10 people from two different families who were in the homes that were surrounded by the army and attacked, destroying parts of them. The blockade was imposed on Jericho seven days ago following an attempted shooting at an Israeli-run restaurant located outside Jericho. No one was hurt in the shooting, but the army alleges the shooter escaped into Jericho. Footage by /APA
