There have been a string of new Israeli attacks across the occupied territories, Al Jazeera reports citing the Wafa news agency.

Israeli forces shot bullets and tear gas bombs after attacking the southeastern side of Qusra south of Nablus, leaving several people with suffocation injuries, the report adds.

Israeli soldiers also stormed the villages and towns of Beit Rima, Deir Ghassaneh, Aboud, and Kafr Ein, all north of Ramallah, without any arrests or clashes reported.

They also raided the town of Allar, north of Tulkarm, arresting at least one person after raiding his home.
