In Azzoun village north of Qalqilia, IOF kidnapped Palestinians and closed down a lathe workshop, confiscated equipment, claiming that it produces weapons.

A Palestinian man was shot dead after he opened fire on Israeli settlers, wounding five, two of whom have later succumbed to their wounds.

In addition, IOF broke into Surif village north of Hebron, raided homes and kidnapped youths.

Local sources also said the soldiers invaded several alleys in Tulkarem refugee camp, and Thiab neighborhood in the city, and clashed with dozens of youngsters who hurled stones and empty bottles on the military vehicles.
