One Palestinian youth Muhammad Zayed ( 15 year old) was shot by the Israeli forces at Bartama village to the north of the West Bank, and the Palestinian youth Ibrahim Madani ( 12 year old) was gravely wounded after he was hit by Israeli tank shell in Askar camp for the Palestinian refugees near Nablus which witnessed a massive sit-in in protest of the US Congressional decision considering Jerusalem as a capital for Israel.

While strong confrontation took place between the Palestinians and the Israeli forces which opened fire and bullets in an attempt to impose curfew by force against the city, resulted in wounding nine Palestinians.

Meantime, the founder of the Hamas movement ,Sheikh Ahmad Yassin, has called for the continued resistance by all means including "martyrdom" operations until the end of the Israeli occupation.
