RNA - The Palestinian Information Center (PIC) reported that the Israeli forces stormed houses in various towns in the occupied West Bank cities of al-Khalil (Hebron) and Bethlehem atdawn on Monday.

The report added that at least nine Palestinians, including a 15-year-old boy, were arrested in the raids.

Israeli troops also arrested a young man in the northern occupied West Bank city of Nablus.

The Israeli army said its troops conducted overnight raids in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem al-Quds, and arrested what it called eight “wanted” Palestinians.

PIC quoted eyewitnesses as saying that about 20 military vehicles carrying scores of Israeli soldiers stormed neighborhoods on the western outskirts of Nablus and broke into student dormitory buildings.

A young man suffered rubber bullet injuries during the raids, the report said.

The occupied territories have witnessed increased tensions ever since Israeli forces imposed restrictions on the entry of Palestinian worshipers into the al-Aqsa Mosque compound in East Jerusalem al-Quds in August 2015.

Nearly 250 Palestinians have lost their lives at the hands of Israeli forces since the beginning of last October.
