Al-Qassam Website - Israeli occupation forces have shot and injured several Palestinians and kidnapped many others in a pre-dawn raid into the occupied West Bank cities of Nablus and Bethlehem early on Thursday.

The nightly raid sparked confrontations with the Palestinian people, during which the occupying forces fired rubber-coated metal bullets and gas canisters at the Palestinian protesters.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society reported that a Palestinian was shot with a rubber bullet and dozens suffered the effects of tear gas inhalation.
