Palestinian young men on Monday evening were able to hurl Molotov cocktails at Jewish settlers’ cars in a Palestinian area of al-Khalil and fend them off.
According to a Palestinian Information Center (PIC) reporter the young men threw incendiary bombs at settlers’ cars as they were traveling on Road 60 near the illegal settlement of Kiryat Arba east of al-Khalil.
Since the outbreak of al-Quds intifada in early October 2015 young people from the West Bank have managed to retaliate to settlers’ violations in Palestinian areas by launching scores of stone-throwing and Molotov cocktail attacks on Israeli cars and military posts.
According to al-Quds Center for Palestinian-Israeli Studies 1602 homemade bombs had been used by Palestinian young men against Israeli soldiers and settlers from October 2015 until the end of 2016.
In a separate incident a large number of Israeli troops stormed in the evening of the same day the villages of Kharsa and Tabaqah in Dura town and closed the main entrance to al-Fawwar refugee camp south of al-Khalil.
Local sources said that Israeli soldiers raided homes in Kharsa and Tabaqah areas and conducted field interrogation with two children before letting them go.
They added that the Israeli army also closed the main entrance of al-Fawwar camp with the iron barrier and obstructed the movement of citizens and vehicles.
