Israeli forces have arrested three Palestinians, aged between 18 and 21, during a raid on al-Khader town, south of Bethlehem, Al Jazeera reports citing Wafa.

The soldiers fired bullets, tear gas and sound bombs, which led to many citizens suffering from suffocation, the agency added.

Israeli forces also arrested a 16-year-old Palestinian in a raid on Beit Furik town, in Nablus, in the early hours of this morning. They ransacked his home and assaulted him.
