IOF storms Qalqilya clashes with youths at dawn

Tuesday 22-August-2017

The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) at dawn Tuesday stormed Qalqilya city in the northern West Bank and clashed with local young men.

Local sources told the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) that Israeli soldiers entered some neighborhoods in the city and engaged in skirmishes with local youths who threw stones at them.

The soldiers in turn responded by firing tear gas at them to disperse them while officers detained several citizens and interrogated them on site before letting them go.

Meanwhile another Israeli military force set up a makeshift checkpoint on the road between Azzun and Kafr Thulth towns in Qalqilya and embarked on intercepting passing vehicles for search.
