Emergency workers in the occupied West Bank city of Ramallah extinguished a fire at a central vegetable market caused by Israeli munitions, according to Al Jazeera Arabic and the Wafa news agency.

There were no immediate reports of casualties.

Wafa also reported clashes between Israeli forces and Palestinians in the city, with soldiers firing live bullets, stun grenades and tear gas.

At least one Palestinian was wounded by the live fire, the news agency said.

The Israeli attack on Ramallah was part of a wave of military night raids across the occupied West Bank, according to Wafa.
