CCTV footage showed the moment Israeli Special Forces, known as "Mista'arvim", infiltrated the Old City of Nablus disguised as civilians while carrying weapons, which they wrapped in carpets. Some were reportedly disguised as Muslim clerics and women wearing full face-covering veils.
According to local sources, the undercover forces surrounded a building that was housing two members of the armed group The Lions' Den. Missiles were fired at the building and snipers were stationed in the surrounding area.
Shortly afterwards, Israeli soldiers entered the city in military vehicles and fired teargas into the eastern market area, which resulted in dozens of Palestinians suffering from suffocation. Eleven Palestinians, including a child and two elderly people, were killed and over 100 others were wounded.
