Several Israeli military vehicles stormed the Fatayer and Ras Al-Ain Streets in Nablus earlier in the day, firing live ammunition and teargas bombs into the city.

In another incident, a Palestinian teen was shot dead near the Beit Einun junction, east of Hebron.

Mohammad Murad Mohammad Jaradat, 16, was shot at close range for allegedly trying to carry out a stabbing attack.
