Monday 26-December-2016

Hundreds of Israeli settlers stormed at dawn Monday Youssef Tomb east of Nablus which led to the outbreak of violent clashes in the area.

According to the PIC reporter at least one young man was shot and injured during the clashes by Israeli occupation forces (IOF).

The injured young man was left bleeding without receiving any medical care before being arrested.

Eyewitnesses pointed out that 15 Israeli buses carrying more than 800 settlers stormed the area early today amid very tight military protection.

Israeli forces were deployed in large numbers throughout the area amid heavy firing of teargas bombs and live ammunition.

Several suffocation cases among Palestinian civilians were reported during the clashes.

Israeli 0404 website said that 1500 settlers stormed Youssef Tomb and performed Talmudic rituals.

On the other hand IOF soldiers arrested an ex-detainee after breaking into his family house in Nablus only two weeks after his release from Israeli jails.

A military checkpoint was erected at the entrance to Beit Furik east of the city early today.

Three more arrests were carried out in occupied Jerusalem while another young man was kidnapped in Aroub refugee camp in al-Khalil.

Meanwhile violent clashes broke out in Qabatia town south of Jenin when Israeli forces stormed the area and confiscated a Palestinian-owned vehicle.

A number of local residents were interrogated during the raid.

A make-shift checkpoint was further erected at the entrance of Kafer Dan to the west of Jenin where several Palestinian cars were stopped and searched.

Similar confrontations were reported in Tubas as Israeli forces stormed an ex-detainee’s house in Tamun town and summoned him for investigation.

Several checkpoints were erected throughout the town.
