Ramallah, Oct 11 (Prensa Latina) Some 700 Israeli military forces and police officers on Tuesday raided Shuafat refugee camp in Jerusalem, besieged since the weekend as part of the hunt for a Palestinian who killed a female soldier in an attack.

During the new incursion, violent clashes occurred between security forces and Palestinian youths in several streets of that neighborhood, located in the vicinity of the occupied East Jerusalem area, according to Maan news agency.

Helicopters, drones, and armored vehicles supported Israeli entry.

According to the source, Israeli engineers examined the walls of the home of the al-Tamini family, one of the members charged with attacking a checkpoint that killed a female soldier on Saturday evening.

Israeli authorities defend the demolitions policy by claiming it is the main deterrent to stop other possible attackers.

However, the Palestinians and human rights groups condemn this strategy after considering it is a collective punishment because it affects many people who have not had a role in these incidents.
