Clashes erupted on Saturday evening between Palestinian youths and Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) after the latter stormed Birzeit town north of Ramallah.
Local sources revealed that IOF soldiers in eleven vehicles raided the town and stationed in the cemetery. Meanwhile an Israeli army chopper was hovering over Birzeit and others towns in northern Ramallah.
Palestinian youths threw stones at the Israeli soldiers who fired rubber bullets and tear gas grenades at the youths before retreating. No injuries or arrests were reported.
The sources revealed that the Israeli forces carried out excavation works at the graveyard and took out some bags from the ground.
A while later the IOF soldiers returned to the town and raided a youth hostel and wreaked havoc on it before reportedly arresting a student.
