Violent clashes broke out on Saturday evening between Palestinian young men and Israeli soldiers near Tahadi School in Beit Ta’mir town east of Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank.
Local official Hasan Bureija said that the clashes started after soldiers tried to appropriate outdoor play equipment from children’s park near Tahadi school.
The soldiers intensively fired tear gas and stun grenades at the angry young men to disperse them. No one was reportedly injured during the events.
Earlier Israeli troops stormed the town and tried to seize the play equipment from the park but they withdrew from the area after seeing foreigners there before they repeated their attempt later in the evening.
However the young men managed to fend off the troops and forced them to leave the town.
