Two casualties in the Nablus raid

One Israeli soldier and a Palestinian gunman have been killed in an IDF raid on a refugee camp in the city of Nablus. Witnesses have reported that heavy fighting went on inside the camp, with Israeli gunship showering over the area.

It's not clear how the Israeli soldier died - PFLP and Islamic Jihad are claming that he was killed in an explosion, but the IDF sources are attributing his death to small-arms fire.

Also, Al Jazeera is reporting about the incident in which IDF soldiers allegedly used a Palestinian civilian as human shield during the same raid.

Read more about the raid and human shield accusations in the Al Jazeera article.
