The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Sunday night stormed different towns and areas south of Jenin province with no reported arrests.

Local sources told the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) Israeli soldiers aboard seven military vehicles spread through Qabatiya plains and combed the area.

An Israeli military force also stormed the towns of Fahmah and Kafr Ra’I in Jenin and clashed with local young men who hurled stones at them.

Soldiers also set up a military checkpoint on the road leading to Ya’bad town south of Jenin intercepted Palestinian vehicles and interrogated citizens.

In Nablus province the Israeli army continued for the second consecutive day to close the main road to Tell town with mounds of dirt and rocks. No reason was given for the closure of the road.
