Palestinians clashed with Israeli soldiers in a number of incidents in the West Bank on Thursday.
Near the settlements of Yitzhar and Itamar in Samaria, dozens of Palestinians threw stones toward homes and at IDF soldiers, Ynet reported. The soldiers employed riot dispersal techniques against the demonstrators.
Stone-throwing Palestinians also engaged security forces near the outpost of Esh Kodesh, which has become a hot spot in the past few weeks.
Earlier this week settlers and Palestinians thew stones at each other after vineyards were attacked.
The settlers and local Palestinian farmers both claim the agricultural land as their own, and the sides have clashed over the issue several times.
