Israeli soldiers arrest three Jihad activists, clash with citizens in West Bank

Israeli occupation forces (IOF) stormed Yamon village, west of Jenin, at a late night hour on Wednesday to arrest a number of Palestinians for allegedly throwing stones at Salem army camp.

Local sources told the PIC reporter that the Israeli forces fired bullets and tear gas at young men who confronted the IOF incursion.

They said that the soldiers could not arrest the targeted youths, adding that they stormed a number of homes but no arrests were made.

Meanwhile, other IOF units broke into the Arrabe village, south of Jenin, and arrested three Islamic Jihad activists.

Locals said that one of them Jafar Ezzuddin, 46, had gone on hunger strike a few months ago in Israeli jails for 56 days after which he was released.

Three other villages, to the south of Jenin, were stormed over the past night.
