وداع مؤثر لعائلة الفتى عامر أبو زيتون الذي ارتقى برصاص جيش الاحتلال خلال اقتحام مخيم بلاطة شرق نابلس.

كل يوم نودع الشهداء
بكل رحمة وطمانينة
تفتح لهم ابواب السماء
هناك وعد من الله
ان يرفع عن اهل فلسطين البلاء
وان تتحرر كل الاراضي بلا استثناء.

According to local Palestinian sources, armed confrontations broke out this morning after an Israeli special unit raided the Balata camp at dawn today.

The Lions' Den announced in a statement earlier this morning that "its Resistance fighters stood up to the occupation forces and opened fire after occupation forces stormed Balata camp at dawn today."

The occupation forces prevented ambulances from reaching Balata camp as they raided the camp.
