[quote] Israeli forces have killed three Palestinians in an early morning raid on the Qalandiya refugee camp in the occupied West Bank. Medical sources told Al Jazeera that at least 15 others were wounded, six of them seriously, during clashes between the Israeli forces and Palestinians that erupted after the raid on Monday. An Israeli police spokeswoman told the AFP news agency that the officers were on a raid to catch a "terror suspect" when more than 1,500 Palestinians took to the streets and attacked them with firebombs and rocks. She said Israeli forces used riot-control munitions - a term that usually refers to rubber bullets and tear gas. It was not clear if the Israelis made any arrests. A 13-year-old boy from the camp, whom Al Jazeera has not named because of his age, said he was on his way to school when he saw Israeli soldiers shooting live ammunition, rubber-coated steel bullets and tear gas. “I counted about 10 army vehicles in total and many soldiers marching alongside them shooting randomly”, he said, adding that at least two of the vehicles had caught fire from petrol bombs hurled by the youth. “I’m not usually scared when the army invades, but that moment it was hard not to be because of all the shooting.” [/quote] [url]http://www.aljazeera.com/news/middleeast/2013/08/201382672050656984.html[/url]
