Saturday 6-May-2017

Violent clashes broke out on Friday night after the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) stormed Haris town northwest of Salfit province.

Local sources told the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) that dozens of Israeli soldiers set up a makeshift checkpoint at the main entrance to the town spread across its streets stopped citizens and interrogated them.

They added that the soldiers showered local young men with tear gas provoking them to respond by throwing stones at the soldiers.

In a separate incident Israeli soldiers kidnapped at night a Palestinian citizen from Qabatiya town in Jenin at a makeshift checkpoint on a road leading to Ramallah city.

The detainee was identified as 20-year-old Adham Qarqish and was kidnapped after intercepting a public car he was aboard according to eyewitnesses.
