The Israeli occupation army on Tuesday evening intensified its military measures in al-Khalil city and nearby areas.

Eyewitnesses told the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) that the Israeli army deployed a large number of its troops in Kharsa Triangle south of Dura town in al-Khalil where they occupied the rooftops of homes and spread in different areas near the entrance to the town.

The Israeli army also intensified its presence along road 60 south of al-Khalil after an Israeli bus boarded by settlers was allegedly attacked with stones.

The army also claimed that one settler suffered injuries when Palestinian young men threw stones at him east of al-Khalil city.

Meanwhile Israeli helicopters were seen overflying the eastern western and southern areas of al-Khalil city during the early evening hours on Tuesday.
