A number of Palestinian civilians were arrested and others injured in predawn clashes with the Israeli occupation forces throughout the West Bank.
21-year-old Palestinian young man Mohamed Besharat was killed and 11 others injured after they were shot with Israeli bullet fire in Tubas.
Violent clashes also burst out shortly after heavily-armed Israeli patrols rolled into Kafr Kalil south of Nablus. Several Palestinian protesters choked on teargas.
Palestinian young men Mahdi Haj Ibrahim and Jamal Kou’ were kidnapped by the occupation forces from their family homes in Beit Leid town east of Tulkarem in the northern West Bank.
Israeli patrols wreaked havoc on civilian homes in the area and subjected the locals to exhaustive questioning.
At the same time the occupation soldiers cordoned off the access road between Beit Leid and al-Kafriyat and raked through the area in the hunt for the anti-occupation attacker Ashraf Na’aluwa.
Full-armed Israeli troops also showed up in Jericho city and Qalqilya’s eastern town of Azzoun.
