Balata camp was an important event in the West Bank, especially with the announcement of a group of resistance fighters that they had formed a camp battalion. Israeli special forces, followed by an incursion by the Israeli occupation army, stormed the camp around eight in the morning on Saturday.
The raid, which aimed to arrest wanted for the occupation from inside the camp, seemed court and well prepared, according to the account of eyewitnesses who spoke to Al Jazeera Net. The occupation soldiers inflicted the greatest damage to the camp and its residents, killing two young men and wounding a number of citizens, including a woman.
