Ramallah, November 2 (RHC)-- In the occupied West Bank, the death toll from an Israeli raid on the Nur Shams refugee camp has risen to at least five.  Israeli troops destroyed roads, water infrastructure and a health clinic run by UNRWA, the U.N. refugee organization. 

UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees) said their office was a hub to deliver services to 14,000 Palestinian refugees in the camp. 
Israeli forces also reportedly detained and beat a number of Palestinians during the deadly raid.  

One Palestinian named Usama Shaheen said Israeli troops wrote numbers on the forehead of each prisoner.  Usama told reporters: “At the time of dawn prayers exactly, they raided the house.  They broke down the door and damaged everything in the house. Nothing was left in the house.  I was beaten from the moment I left the house to when we went to Majnoune.  They brought me back here.  All sorts of beatings, all sorts of beatings, on my chest, on my head.  It was severe. … Each one got a number on his forehead.  And in the army jeep, everyone there hits you.  Everyone hits you.  Most of the beating is to the head.”
