Violent clashes broke out on Thursday evening after the Israeli occupation forces attacked Palestinians in Bethlehem’s eastern town of Tekou’ in the southern West Bank with gunfire.
According to eye-witnesses Israeli army troops deployed at a military watchtower near the main entrance to Tekou’ targeted Palestinian anti-occupation youth with randomly-shot spates of bullet fire and teargas canisters. Several Palestinians were left injured in the attack.
At the same time the Israeli occupation soldiers on Thursday evening sealed off the main entrance to the nearby Janata town with a military checkpoint where Palestinian vehicles and passengers were subjected to intensive inspection.
