AL-KHALIL, (PIC)– Violent clashes broke out between Palestinian young men and Israeli soldiers in Al-Khalil city on Wednesday evening, a day after a deadly attack in Qalandiya refugee camp sparked widespread outrage in the occupied West Bank.
Eyewitnesses told the Palestinian information center (PIC) that angry young men hurled stones at Israeli soldiers, who responded with firing a hail of rubber bullets, and tear gas and smoke grenades.
The events took place in the vicinity of the Ibrahimi Mosque, Al-Aroub refugee camp and different neighborhoods of the Old City of Al-Khalil.
The clashes kept raging until a late hour after midnight, especially after the attacking Israeli soldiers persisted in their suppression.
One of the smoke grenades fired by the soldiers fell inside a house in Al-Aroub refugee camp, north of Al-Khalil, causing it to catch fire, according to eyewitnesses.
