Israeli occupation forces (IOF) stormed at dawn Saturday four towns west of Jenin and conducted combing operations during which clashes between Palestinian youths and Israeli forces were reported in the village of Rumana.
Eyewitnesses said that five military vehicles stormed the village of Romana at dawn where Palestinian youths pelted Israeli forces with stones and empty bottles. The clashes were followed by heavy gunfire, the sources added.
IOF soldiers stormed the nearby town of Tiba, and conducted extensive combing operations in the area between Romana and Tiba towns where flare bombs were fired.
Israeli forces deployed in the neighboring village of Zbobh also conducted combing operations along the apartheid wall without arrests.
In a separate incident, Israeli settlers started to construct a roadway to connect one settlement to other outposts built on Palestinian land south of Bethlehem.
Ahmad Salah, Coordinator of the Popular Committee against the Wall and Settlements, told Quds press that the settlers started two days ago to construct a roadway on an agricultural land in al-Khader village, south of Bethlehem, to connect between Daniel settlement and Ein Qasis settlement outpost.
Salah pointed out that the mentioned road is a 50-meter-long and 4-meter-wide road, noting that the road would seize part of Palestinian land in the town.
Salah recalled that settlers tried few months ago to grab this land and plant it with trees, but the land owners removed the trees. The settlers came again to establish the roadway on the Palestinian agricultural land.
