Israeli forces are shooting inside the Nur Shams refugee camp, which has been subjected to a military campaign for weeks, sources tell Al Jazeera, adding that an explosion has been heard inside the camp, located east of Tulkarem in the occupied West Bank.

The latest attack comes after at least eight Palestinians were arrested by Israeli forces in the Fawwar refugee camp, south of Hebron, according to the Wafa news agency.

At the same time, settler attacks have been reported in the Palestinian communities of Khirbet ad-Dir in the northern Jordan Valley and the Bedouin village of Ras Ein al-Auja, north of Jericho.
