The Israeli army stormed the Balata refugee camp in eastern Nablus in the northern West Bank for the fourth time in 24 hours, Anadolu Agency reports.

The Palestinian news agency, Wafa, reported that military forces stormed the camp amid heavy gunfire, the deployment of snipers and the arrival of reinforcements, accompanied by a bulldozer.

Activists on social media shared videos allegedly showing military reinforcements heading toward the camp, and videos that had the sounds of gunfire, which they claimed were from clashes between Palestinians fighters and the Israeli army.

The army had withdrawn late Saturday from the camp after an hours-long raid that resulted in the deaths of two Palestinians and injuries to dozens, according to witnesses and Palestinian medical sources.
