TEHRAN, Apr. 21 (MNA) – The Israeli regime’s forces have gunned down at least 14 Palestinians, including 10 combatants, during their ongoing days-long siege on Nour Shams, a refugee camp located in the northern part of the occupied West Bank.

"So far, our crews have evacuated 14 martyrs from Nour Shams camp to the hospital," the Palestinian Red Crescent said on Saturday.

News agencies, meanwhile, reported sighting Israeli drones loitering overhead and armored vehicles roaming throughout the camp.

Earlier, the Palestinian health ministry said it had confirmed that as many as 11 people had been injured by the troops. Seven of those injured had been “wounded by live gunshots,” it said, adding that among the wounded was a paramedic shot while trying to get to the wounded.

Medics had been alerted to "a number of killed and injured" inside the camp, but the military was "denying them access to tend to the wounded," the ministry noted.

The Israeli military began its siege on the camp on Thursday, rolling bulldozers into the area, and deploying military vehicles on all routes leading to the camp.

The military began destroying main streets, alleyways, water, and wastewater networks inside the camp.

The Israeli regime has notably escalated its aggression against Palestinians across the West Bank since October 7, when it began an all-out genocidal war on Gaza.

Around 480 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli troops or settlers in the West Bank ever since the onset of the war that has claimed the lives of more than 34,000 people so far.
