Al Jazeera’s Alan Fisher reports from occupied East Jerusalem, where Israeli military raids and strikes on Nur Shams refugee camp that have killed at least six Palestinians.

He says clashes were ongoing in Nur Shams “until just an hour or so ago”.

“We were told that there were snipers on the roof, and that Israeli forces had moved into Nur Shams to try to arrest people they say are ‘wanted’,” said Fisher.

“They’ve destroyed at least one house that we know of.”

“The fact that [raids] have happened for a second night in a row leaves people in Nur Shams equally concerned about what might come this evening.”
