IOF rolls into Tulkarem sparks violent clashes

Friday 4-November-2016

Violent clashes burst out in Tulkarem at dawn Friday after the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) rolled into the city and closed off all access roads out of and into the area.

Speaking with a PIC news correspondent Palestinian protesters said violent clashes flared up on the western thoroughfare to Tulkarem province in the northern occupied West Bank and on al-Khadouri Road leading to Jashuri settlement.

The occupation troops have also been deployed in al-Tiba Street and near the Israeli chemical factories to the west of Tulkarem.

Other troops have been stationed at the Netanya checkpoint where Palestinian vehicles and passengers have been subjected to intensive inspection.

The IOF have also combed the area in search for surveillance cameras filming anti-occupation shooters.

On Thursday evening an Israeli soldier was lightly wounded in an anti-occupation shooting attack in western Tulkarem province.
