Israeli occupation forces (IOF) used teargas and rubber bullets to disperse Palestinian citizens in Balata refugee camp near Nablus on Sunday wounding one of them in the foot. Local sources said that IOF soldiers stormed Nablus city, Beita village, and Balata refugee camp and nabbed eight Palestinians. They said that clashes erupted in Balata as citizens confronted the invading soldiers, adding that a number of citizens fainted as a result of the IOF extensive use of teargas bombs while one of them was wounded with a rubber bullet in his foot. Other IOF soldiers raided Beit Fajjar village in Bethlehem and arrested a young man in his twenties after searching his family home. The soldiers served summonses for three other citizens in the village.
