Pictures and videos circulating online show Israeli forces operating in the West Bank city of Nablus and facing off against stone-throwing Palestinians.
Footage shows military vehicles moving through city streets, with troops appearing to fire warning shots.
Additional clips capture soldiers detaining several local residents during the operation.
The official Palestinian Authority news outlet Wafa reports that two Palestinians were treated for gunshot wounds and dozens of others were injured by tear gas and rubber bullets, citing the Red Crescent.
The reports come a day after Israeli police said security forces seized roughly NIS 1.5 million ($447,000) in “terror funds” during a raid on a currency exchange office in Ramallah that authorities said was linked to Hamas.

According to the Palestinian Red Crescent, dozens were wounded in yesterday’s raid, some by live fire and others by rubber bullets or tear gas inhalation.
