Following the announcement, a mass rally started from the camp toward the Shuafat camp checkpoint, which led to violent confrontations between Al-Quds youth and the occupation forces, which responded by firing gas and sound grenades on them, as well as targeting them with high-pressure wastewater hoses in an attempt to disperse them.

Israeli occupation forces have been also raiding homes and carrying out large-scale attacks on citizens in an attempt to exert pressure on the residents as they attempt to capture the individuals who carried out the operation on the Israeli occupation checkpoint at the gate of Shuafat camp on Saturday, which resulted in the killing of one Israeli soldier.

Local witnesses reported that more than 700 heavily-equipped Israeli soldiers from all divisions stormed the Shuafat refugee camp via the military checkpoint and the gate of Dahiyat Al-Salam neighborhood. Afterward, Israeli soldiers have been deployed in different sites most notably in Dahiyat Al-Salam, Ras Khamis, and Ras Shehadeh neighborhoods.
