‘I can’t feel my leg’: Israeli gunfire disables teenagers in West Bank

“They terrorise us, kill our young people in cold blood, and keep us here in a prison.” People from the camp say Tel Askar has become the entrance point used by invading Israeli soldiers as they infiltrate the narrow and dilapidated streets of the camp, often via the illegal settlement of Elon Moreh that looms over the east of Nablus. Nablus, occupied West Bank – Islam Madani says families and young people from the Askar refugee camp would once congregate beneath the olive trees on the slopes of Tel Askar, a hilly area in the north of the occupied West Bank which is home to the camp.

Raptors adamant about keeping the band together: ‘We’ve got everything it takes’

I’ve done my part on the court this year and I will continue to do my part, so, just hope things work out that way.” Mamukelashvili, who got votes as sixth man of the year and was a superb value signing last summer but struggled in the playoffs, said he thinks he can continue to get better and loved his fit in Toronto.
