<p class="article">Local youth began throwing stones at the jeeps and armored vehicles, and soldiers responded with tear gas and live ammunition. No injuries were reported.</p>
<p>According to local sources, at least five Israeli military vehicles were seen in both the city of Tulkarem and in the refugee camps around the town.</p>
<p>The clashes occurred in the eastern part of the city of Tulkarem.</p>
<p>Israeli troops frequently invade Palestinian towns and villages, usually for the purpose of abducting individuals that are ‘wanted’ by the Israeli military.</p>
<p>The occupying military force maintains long lists of Palestinians alleged to have engaged in some anti-Occupation activity, although human rights groups have criticized those lists for inaccuracy and targeting of non-violent activists. The main sources of the names are from paid Palestinian informants.</p>
