Palestinian rioters clash with troops in Hebron, Tulkarem
Palestinian rioters are throwing rocks, Molotov cocktails and rolling burning tires at security troops in the West Bank cities of Tulkarem and Hebron.
According to the IDF, some 100 people are participating in the riot in Tulkarem.
There were two separate riots near Hebron — one that has ended, and one ongoing.
In Hasam Shoter, according to the IDF, troops tried to disperse the riot with nonlethal means but having failed to do so, began using 0.22 Ruger rounds against the “main instigators.”
A riot near the settlement of Beit Hagai was dispersed not long ago.
Palestinian media report several injured in the riots.
