In another incident, similar clashes were reported overnight in al-Arqa town in Jenin after Israeli soldiers stormed the town that had recently seen daily clashes.

Heavy tear gas bombs and rubber and live bullets were fired during the clashes, which led to breathing problems among a number of citizens including women, while two young men were shot with live bullets.

Israeli forces also raided Qabatiya town and conducted wide combing operations. At least one Palestinian was detained during the campaign.
