Saturday 17-December-2016

Violent clashes broke out on Friday night in Qaryut town south of Nablus after Israeli occupation soldiers stormed its neighborhoods.

A local activist reported that an Israeli military force stormed the town brutalized some residents and prevented them from returning home.

He added that clashes started when two military jeeps got stuck in an alley of the town which encouraged local young men to hurl stones at them.

Consequently the soldiers responded by firing tear gas and stun grenades at the young men to protect the jeeps before withdrawing later from the town.

Qaryut is subjected to repeated raids on homes by the Israeli army which tries to intimidate the families into preventing their kids from throwing stones at its soldiers during their presence in the town.
