The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) at dawn Saturday stormed Iraq Burin town south of Nablus and clashed with local young men.
Eyewitnesses reported seeing IOF patrol vehicles entering the eastern neighborhood of the town before a brigade of soldiers stormed on foot the old district and spread near its Mosque where local young men hurled stones at them.
They added that the soldiers responded by firing tear gas and rubber bullets at the young men before they withdrew to the main entrance of the town and set up a makeshift checkpoint there.
Furthermore the main entrance to Beita town south of Nablus has been blocked with mounds of dirt and rocks for about three weeks.
The Israeli army claimed its closure of this entrance aimed to prevent the local residents from organizing protests there on Fridays.
