In Jenin,  Israeli occupation forces arrested Mohammed Abu Shamla,19, after raiding his family’s house in Ya’bod town to the west of Jenin. Many Palestinians suffered suffocation due to clashes with the Israeli colonial forces that fired tear gas at them.

The forces erected a military checkpoint at the entrance of Ta’nak village to the south-east of Jenin, and detained some Palestinian youths for an hour.

In a relevant vein, violent clashes erupted Saturday afternoon between Israeli forces and Palestinian youths in BeitForik village to the east of Nablus, north of the West Bank.
