Local sources said at least 30 army jeeps raided the neighborhood located beyond the apartheid barrier and the nearby Qalandia refugee camp accompanied by a bulldozer.
Youths confronted the soldiers, who fired live bullets, rubber-coated metal bullets, and teargas canisters at them injuring at least 15 people, according to the Red Crescent.
It said 10 people were shot with live bullets, one injured by a live bullet shrapnel to the face and chest, one shot by a rubber bullet in the eye, and three from beating. All were taken to hospitals in Ramallah.

The soldiers, said the sources, broke and destroyed several shops in
the area and issued fines to cars parked on the main Ramallah-Jerusalem road.
