AL-KHALIL, (PIC)– The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) carried out Tuesday evening military exercises and helicopter landings in different area of Dura town in Al-Khalil city and terrorized its Palestinian residents.

Eyewitnesses told the Palestinian information center (PIC) that a large number of Israeli troops and three helicopters took part in the drills which included landing troopers in Kerisa area, combing mountains and raiding homes in Tarusa area.
