Israeli troops continued raiding areas across the West Bank overnight, blowing up several vehicles in the village of Kafr Dan, northwest of the city of Jenin, the Wafa news agency reported.

The soldiers also clashed with Palestinians and fired live bullets, tear gas and sound bombs, Wafa said, citing local sources.

There was no immediate report of casualties.

Wafa also reported confrontations between Israeli soldiers and Palestinians in the town of Qusra, south of Nablus, and a raid on a mosque in the village of Husan, west of Bethlehem. A Palestinian official in Busan told Wafa that Israeli officials laid siege to the mosque, and fired tear gas at worshippers inside, causing several people to suffocate.
