The director of ambulance and emergency at the Palestine Red Crescent Society in Nablus, Ahmed Jibril, noted that a young man was wounded by live bullets, in addition to two others with shrapnel, while three young men were wounded by rubber-coated metal bullets.

In addition, one young man was transferred to the hospital, after being assaulted by Israeli occupation soldiers.

Jibril added that the Palestine Red Crescent Society dealt with 185 cases of suffocation, and evacuated a family consisting of five members, and an elderly woman, after they were suffocated by poisonous gas.

It is noteworthy that martyr Kharousha carried out a shooting operation in the town of Huwara on February 26, which resulted in the death of two Israeli settlers. He was killed on March 7 during armed confrontations with occupation forces in the Jenin refugee camp.
