The Israeli occupation army tightened grip on Palestinians in Nablus allegedly after anonymous anti-occupation gunmen late on Thursday evening opened fire at an Israeli military patrol driving near Hawara checkpoint south of Nablus.
According to Hebrew-speaking news outlets gunshots were fired from a car driving at high speed toward a military troop deployed at Hawara checkpoint.
No injuries were reported in the alleged shooting attack.
The occupation army cordoned off access roads and checkpoints pitched around the area in the hunt for the alleged shooters.
In February the Israeli military killed the anti-occupation protester Ahmed Jarrar after it kept chasing him down for a month’s time in the northern West Bank province of Jenin on claims that he carried out an anti-occupation attack that claimed the life of an Israeli settler.
Tension has hit a zenith across the occupied Palestinian territories due to the US President Donald Trump’s recognition on December 6 of Occupied Jerusalem as the capital of the self-proclaimed Israeli state.
