Two activists affiliated with the Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, an armed wing of Fatah, were wounded during a raid of the Balata refugee camp by a large number of Israeli occupation troops who failed to arrest or liquidate the "wanted activists". Local sources reported that about around 30 army jeeps stormed the Balata refugee camp after midnight on Thursday. The occupation forces surrounded a house in the western sector of the camp and a clash with resistance fighters in the house ensued. Local resistance fighters hurried to the scene to break the siege helping the besieged activists escape to a safe place. Palestinian sources said that the occupation forces were aiming to arrest Ahmad Abu Saltah and Ahmad Abu Ras, both of them were slightly injured in the clash and managed, along with Ala Sanaqrah, to withdraw to safety.On 14th April occupation forces assassinated 22-year-old Ibrahim Samiri, an Aqsa Martyrs Brigades' field commander in the same refugee camp. A spokesman for the Brigades warned that the group will retaliate to this attempt on the lives of its activists adding that his group is no longer bound by the truce.
