Morning Star.png Demolition Raid on Refugee Camp Israeli Troops Shoot 2 Dead The Morning Star, London, 17 November 2015 Israeli forces shot dead two Palestinians and critically wounded another at Qalandiya refugee camp in the occupied West Bank before dawn yesterday. The victims were identified as Ahmed Abu al-Eish, aged 28, and Laith Manasra, 21. Dozens more were left injured, some seriously, after hundreds of Israeli soldiers and special forces raided the camp, north of Jerusalem, at about 2am. They demolished the home of Muhammed Abu Shaheen, who is currently in an Israeli jail for his alleged role in a July shooting attack that killed an Israeli settler. The gun battle between members of the Fatah-affiliated al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades and Israeli forces went on for at least an hour. Israeli sources said that none of its soldiers were wounded. An attempt by Israeli forces several weeks ago to demolish Mr Abu Shaheen's home was aborted when hundreds of Qalandiya residents turned out in opposition. Israeli occupation forces forcibly evacuated everyone from the home on the third floor of a block of flats yesterday before destroying it. Neighbouring homes were seriously damaged by the explosives used to blow up the building. An Israeli drone flew over the refugee camp for hours, apparently monitoring the situation as hundreds of young men flooded the streets and threw stones at the soldiers, who had entered from three different directions. More than half a dozen ambulances tried to enter the camp to evacuate the wounded but were prevented from doing so by the Israelis. The ambulances rushed the injured to Ramallah's Palestine Medical Complex following the Israeli withdrawal.
