<p>Israeli troops arrested 21-year-old Islam Za’el Khalf, from the village of al-Shawawra near Bethlehem in the southern West Bank, after raiding his home on Thursday morning.</p>
<p>Official Palestinian news wire Wafa reported an Israeli military raid in Hebron, resulting in the arrest of Ahmed Abdulkarim al-Awiwi, 28, and Abduljabar al-Karki, 47. In the nearby village of al-Samu’, soldiers also arrested 22-year-old Ahmed Mohammed al-Daghameen. All three were taken to an unknown location.</p>
<p>Hebron locals also told Wafa that a settler had hit 7-year-old Ahmed Shukri Jaber in the al-Baq’a neighborhood, in the east of the city near Kiryat Arba settlement.</p>
<p>In the northern West Bank city of Nablus, Israeli forces arrested three Palestinians: Imad al-Tanbour, 24, Munir Najeh al-Masri, age unknown, and Abdullah Dweikat, a 22-year-old student at the Engineering College at al-Najah University.</p>
<p>In a clash at the entrance to the refugee camp of al-Arroub, between Bethlehem and Hebron, eyewitnesses told Wafa that settlers opened fire on Palestinians, wounding 15-year-old Ahmed Yusef Abu Ghazi in his right foot.</p>
<p>Clashes were also reported in the Silwan neighborhood of East Jerusalem, where Israeli forces raided a number of homes. Both tear gas canisters and sound bombs were used, according to local sources reporting to PNN correspondent Maysa Abu Ghazala.</p>
<p>The Wadi Helwa Information Center reported that Israeli troops set up checkpoints around Silwan and the neighboring area of Ras al-Amoud that evening.</p>
<p>Confrontations between settlers, soldiers, and Palestinians were also reported in Sheikh Jarrah, resulting in one wounded Palestinian.</p>
<p>Israeli bulldozers destroyed houses in the village of al-Aqba in the northern Jordan Valley and dug up some of the village’s streets, including the western entrance and a street near the demolished house named Peace Street.</p>
<p>Witnesses say that bulldozers destroyed the houses of Khalid Subeih after troops surrounded the area to prevent people and journalists from getting closer.</p>
<p>Palestinian Prime Minister Salaam Fayyad condemned the demolitions in al-Aqba.</p>
<p>&#8220;Our people are determined to live on their land,&#8221; said Fayyad. &#8220;We are resilient and we will survive.&#8221;</p>
<p>Israeli soldiers also raided houses in Shu’fat refugee camp, al-Dahyeh and Ras al-Khamis in the center of East Jerusalem. The raids came after a shooting incident near the Israeli army checkpoint at the camp entrance.</p>
