In occupied Jerusalem, the occupation army intensified its military measures today near the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, and arrested a Palestinian and soldiers assaulted him by beating him in the Damascus Gate area.

The occupation authorities imposed strict restrictions at their military checkpoints between the West Bank and Jerusalem, including repelling the majority of Palestinians and preventing them from reaching the Holy City.

Tulkarm arrests

Today at dawn, the occupation army carried out raids on cities and towns in the West Bank, most notably the city of Tulkarm in the northwest of the West Bank.

Al Jazeera's correspondent reported that the occupation forces stormed Tulkarm with a number of military vehicles, and were stationed near the Shweika roundabout northwest of the city, while local media reported that clashes took place between Palestinian resistance fighters and the occupation forces storming the city.

On the other hand, the Palestinian News Agency (Wafa) said that the occupation forces arrested 4 Palestinians from the city of Tulkarm at dawn today, and raided the town of Ba’a, north of the city.

Local sources confirmed that more than 12 Israeli military vehicles stormed the city of Tulkarm and deployed in several areas. They also reported that the occupation forces raided several commercial stores and residential buildings in the city, wreaking havoc there.
