The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) closed Jeet barrier that links between the cities of Nablus and Qalqilya in the northern West Bank, after an armed attack against an Israeli settler in that area.

The IOF closed the main roads in the area and prevented the passage of Palestinian vehicles following the accident, and then imposed strict measures at Jeet checkpoint, searching and checking the Palestinian citizens' vehicles and identity cards, local sources confirmed.

Voice of Israel radio station has reported that an Israeli settler was slightly injured after being shot from a Palestinian car, as it claimed.

Meanwhile, the IOF stormed on Monday Fawar refugee camp south of al-Khalil in the West Bank, where Israeli patrols were deployed near the southern entrance of the district.

Dozens of soldiers stormed the camp, roaming between its neighborhoods, no arrests were reported, eyewitnesses told PIC reporter.

Occupation patrols have also stormed the southern entrance to the city of al-Khalil and the entrance to Beit Haggai settlement built on the Palestinian land.

In a related context, the Israeli occupation forces arrested at dawn on Monday the liberated prisoner Kedar Ghaith, 33, from al-Khalil after storming his house, where he was taken to unknown destination.

The occupation authorities have released Kedar a few months ago, where he spent 7 years in Israeli jails.
