Dozens of Palestinian citizens suffered from their exposure to tear gas during violent clashes on Saturday night between local youths and the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) in Beit Ummar town north of al-Khalil.
According to local sources the IOF intensively fired live ammunition and tear gas canisters during clashes with Palestinian youths in Beit Ummar town.
Palestinian paramedics provided on-site medical assistance for several young men who suffered from inhaling tear gas.
Earlier the IOF closed the road barrier at the main entrance of the town before storming it and raiding homes following the car-ramming operation that injured three Israeli soldiers on a nearby road.
The young man who carried out the operation was shot dead on the scene. He was identified as 23-year-old Mohamed Baradiyah from the village of Surif and a member of the Palestinian Authority security forces.
In a separate incident a horde of extremist Jewish settlers attacked in the evening Palestinian cars traveling on a road near the towns of Qusra and Jalud in southern Nablus.
Local official Ghassan Daghlas said a group of settlers rallied on the road between Qusra and Jalud and embarked on throwing rocks at Palestinian vehicles.
