Palestinians medical sources reported, on Monday evening, that several Palestinians have been treated for the effects of teargas inhalation after Israeli soldiers invaded the Al-Khader town, south of Bethlehem, and clashes with local youths. Nineteen Palestinians were kidnapped by the army on Monday, in different parts of the West Bank.

The sources said that the army fired dozens of gas bombs, concussion grenades and rubber-coated metal bullets at local youths who hurled stones and empty bottles at the invading soldiers in Al-Khader; dozens of residents have been treated for the effects of teargas inhalation.

Israeli soldiers invaded Al-Khader several times over the last few days, an issue that led to several clashes between the invading soldiers and local youths.

Local sources reported that the soldiers were also deployed around the Al-Quds Open University in the city, and in the areas of Marah Sa’ad, As-Sweitat, and on the Jenin-Jaffa Road.

In related news, the army kidnapped on Monday evening a Palestinian resident of Beit Ummar, north of Hebron, as he was trying to cross the Ak-Karama Bridge on his way back from Jordan. The resident has been identified as Ala’ Hussein At-Teet, 23.
