ISRAEL REOPENS REFUGEE CAMP

-

AL FAWWAR // Israel reopened the main entrance to a Palestinia­n refugee camp in the occupied West Bank yesterday after keeping it closed for nearly a month in response to a series of attacks. The United Nations had accused the Israeli army of collective­ly punishing Fawwar camp’s 9,500 residents. The camp near Hebron was closed after a gunman shot at an Israeli car on a nearby road on July 1, causing a crash in which the driver died. The shooter, who is still at large, was reportedly not even from Fawwar but the nearby town of Dura. – AFP
