WEST BANK (Palestine Foundation Information Center) Israeli occupation forces (IOF) carried out at dawn Monday a large-scale raid and arrest campaign across the West Bank, resulting in the injury of four Palestinians and the arrest of many others.
In Nablus, four young men were wounded by IOF live bullets, while a fifth was arrested at the hands of IOF special forces in the old town of Nablus.
A local source reported that a number of Israeli military vehicles stormed the vicinity of the Old City in Nablus, after the Israeli special forces broke into the area, amid heavy gunfire and the spread of a score of snipers who occupied the rooftops of Palestinian homes and commercial stores, leading to the eruption of clashes with the IOF.
