At least four Palestinians were shot and injured as clashes broke out on Tuesday in the village of Nabi Saleh northwest of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank.
Head of the village council Naji Tmimi said the clashes erupted when Israeli forces stormed the village and proceeded to fire tear gas canisters toward homes provoking residents.
The soldiers attacked residents with tear gas and rubber-coated steel bullets shooting and injuring at least four of them he added.
The injured people were immediately taken to hospital while others were treated from tear gas inhalation.
Meanwhile Israeli forces closed the military checkpoint erected at the entrance to the town preventing people’s movement in both directions.
