A number of Palestinian protesters sustained injuries and others were arrested at dawn Thursday after the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) rolled into various West Bank provinces, triggering clashes.
A PIC news reporter said four Palestinian youths sustained rubber bullet wounds and two others were arrested in the clashes that rocked Jenin’s eastern town of Qabatiya at the crack of dawn.
Local sources said the IOF soldiers broke into civilian homes amid random firing of gunshots.
IOF units further stormed the northern West Bank city of Nablus and kidnapped four Palestinian youths following a round of arbitrary home break-ins across the city.
Al-Khalil province, in the southern occupied West Bank, was also the scene of similar assaults.
The IOF soldiers raked through al-Khalil and kidnapped the 27-year-old ex-prisoner Su’ad Abdul Kareem Erzikat from Tafouh after they wreaked havoc on her family home.
Another youth, identified as Muntasar al-Terda, was also kidnapped by the IOF from the area.
The campaign culminated in the abduction of several Palestinian youths from al-Khalil’s northern town of Beit Ummar and another from Beit Awa, to the west.
A number of Palestinians were reportedly summoned for interrogation in the process.
The Israeli occupation troops further broke into the home of the slain Palestinian girl Tharwat Sha’rawi in al-Rama and rummaged into the building.
Eyewitnesses said the IOF troops had sealed off all the main entrances to the city and pitched a military checkpoint in the Hawawer area, where Palestinian vehicles and passers-by have been subjected to exhaustive inspection.

Dozens of Israeli military vehicles invaded, in the early morning hours of Thursday, the Dahia area, south of the northern West Bank city of Nablus, and detonated a home belonging to detainee Ragheb 'Oleiwy, who stands accused of killing two Israeli settlers.
Israel believes Oleiwy is the head of “a cell that shot and killed an Israeli settler and his wife,” near Beit Forik town, approximately two months ago.
Palestinian security sources in Nablus said hundreds of Israeli soldiers invaded the Dahia area, after isolating it, and surrounded the home of Oleiwy, before forcing the family out.
The soldiers then wired the home and detonated in, in an offensive that last for nearly three hours.
The invasion led to clashes between the soldiers and local youths in different parts of Nablus; a young Palestinian man was shot with a rubber-coated steel bullet in his face, and was moved to the Rafidia Governmental Hospital, in Nablus, suffering moderate wounds.
Several young Palestinian men also hurled Molotov cocktails and empty bottles on the invading armored Israeli military vehicles, and the army fired dozens of gas bombs, concussion grenades and live rounds.
The demolition of Palestinian home comes following a ruling by the Israeli High Court, although the case is still standing against the detainee in a military court.
The building is composed of four floors, each contains two apartments.
'Oleiwy was taken prisoner on October 3 of this year, just two days after the shooting; he is a married father of one child.
On October 20, the Israeli army handed the Oleiwy family a military order for the demolition of their home, and granted them two days to appeal the decision; the family filed an appeal to the High Court but it rejected it.
On November 14, the Israeli army demolished three homes of Palestinians, believed to be members of the cell that allegedly carried the deadly shooting out.
The demolition came less than two days after the High Court authorized it, without allowing the families to appeal the ruling. The three Palestinians are Karam al-Masri, Yahya al-Haj Mohammad and Sameer Kousa.

Clashes broke out between Palestinian youth and Israeli forces during raids in the occupied East Jerusalem neighborhoods of Silwan and al-Issawiya, on Monday. Late Sunday, Israeli extremist settlers sprayed Anti-Arab graffiti on a car near Bethlehem, pledging to kill Palestinians in the area, according to local sources.
Israeli forces raided the Ras al-Amoud, al-Thuri, Ein al-Lawza and Beir Ayyoub areas of Silwan, Majdi Abbasi of the Wadi Hilweh Information Center said.
During the Silwan raids, clashes broke out and Israeli forces fired stun grenades and rubber-coated steel bullets at protesters, Abbasi said.
An Israeli police spokesperson did not provide comment on the raid or subsequent clashes. Locals in Silwan said Israeli forces surrounded an area near the family home of 17-year-old Ayman Abbasi, who was shot dead by Israeli forces on Sunday during clashes in the neighborhood. Witnesses said Israeli forces shouted curses at the boy's family.
All businesses and institutions in the neighborhood were closed on Monday in mourning of the 17-year-old's death.
Israeli forces also raided the Abu Riyala area of the al-Issawiya neighborhood, leading to clashes between local youth and Israeli forces, a member of the local monitoring committee in the village Muhammad Abu al-Homos said.
In addition to raids and clashes, Israeli forces entered the Jabal al-Mukaber neighborhood of occupied East Jerusalem to finish a home demolition that took place earlier last month at the request of the family of Ghassan Abu Jamal, whose home was destroyed last month in a punitive home demolition. Abu Jamal was shot dead along with his cousin, Uday, after they killed four Israelis in a high-profile attack on a synagogue in November last year.
Israeli forces demolished the family home of Abu Jamal on Oct. 6 just hours after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called for a new process to expedite home demolitions.
The family said that following the punitive demolition, walls of the family home were still left standing. The Abu Jamal family told Ma'an News Agency they filed a complaint requesting the Israeli army fully demolish the house, as it posed a a safety hazard to people in the area in its half demolished state.

Mohammad Atallah, mayor of Beit Eskarya village, south of Bethlehem, said settlers from the nearby illegal Gush Etzion settlement bloc broke into the village and sprayed anti Arab graffiti such as, “Death to Arabs” on the car of a local Palestinian villager, before they slashed one of its tires.
Furthermore, settlers hung the Israeli flag on vine trees in land belonging to local Palestinians in the area, according to WAFA.
Atallah said the village has been a frequent target of daily violence by Jewish settlers from nearby settlements.
Violence by illegal Jewish settlers in the West Bank is commonplace. They have repeatedly attacked Palestinian property and worship places. Settler violence includes property and mosque arsons, stone-throwing, uprooting of crops and olive trees, attacks on vulnerable homes, among others.
According to the Israeli human rights group B’Tselem, “Israeli security forces do not always deploy in advance to protect Palestinians from settler violence, even when such violence could be anticipated. “In some cases, rather than restricting violent settlers, Israeli security forces impose restrictions on the Palestinians.”
On July 31, a group of Jewish fanatics attacked with fire bombs the home of Dawabsheh family in Nablus’ village of Duma. The attack left 4-year-old Ahmad orphaned, after his toddler brother, Ali, father, Sa’ed and mother, Reham, lost their lives.
According to OCHA Protection of Civilians Weekly report covering the period between 3 and 9 of November 2015, “At least four Israeli settler attacks against Palestinians and their property were recorded in the H2 area of Hebron city, including the physical assault of a 15-year-old boy by a group of settlers, and, on three separate occasions, stone-throwing at Palestinian houses and threatening of families in the area of Jabal Johar, and Tel Rumeida by settlers from the Israeli settlement of Kiryat Arba’, in the presence of Israeli forces.”

Israeli forces demolished the family home of Abu Jamal on Oct. 6 just hours after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called for a new process to expedite home demolitions.
The family said that following the punitive demolition, walls of the family home were still left standing. The Abu Jamal family told Ma'an News Agency they filed a complaint requesting the Israeli army fully demolish the house, as it posed a a safety hazard to people in the area in its half demolished state.

Mohammad Atallah, mayor of Beit Eskarya village, south of Bethlehem, said settlers from the nearby illegal Gush Etzion settlement bloc broke into the village and sprayed anti Arab graffiti such as, “Death to Arabs” on the car of a local Palestinian villager, before they slashed one of its tires.
Furthermore, settlers hung the Israeli flag on vine trees in land belonging to local Palestinians in the area, according to WAFA.
Atallah said the village has been a frequent target of daily violence by Jewish settlers from nearby settlements.
Violence by illegal Jewish settlers in the West Bank is commonplace. They have repeatedly attacked Palestinian property and worship places. Settler violence includes property and mosque arsons, stone-throwing, uprooting of crops and olive trees, attacks on vulnerable homes, among others.
According to the Israeli human rights group B’Tselem, “Israeli security forces do not always deploy in advance to protect Palestinians from settler violence, even when such violence could be anticipated. “In some cases, rather than restricting violent settlers, Israeli security forces impose restrictions on the Palestinians.”
On July 31, a group of Jewish fanatics attacked with fire bombs the home of Dawabsheh family in Nablus’ village of Duma. The attack left 4-year-old Ahmad orphaned, after his toddler brother, Ali, father, Sa’ed and mother, Reham, lost their lives.
According to OCHA Protection of Civilians Weekly report covering the period between 3 and 9 of November 2015, “At least four Israeli settler attacks against Palestinians and their property were recorded in the H2 area of Hebron city, including the physical assault of a 15-year-old boy by a group of settlers, and, on three separate occasions, stone-throwing at Palestinian houses and threatening of families in the area of Jabal Johar, and Tel Rumeida by settlers from the Israeli settlement of Kiryat Arba’, in the presence of Israeli forces.”
