Palestinians in Aqabat Jaber camp, located south of Areeha in the occupied West Bank, engaged in confrontations with Israeli occupation forces as they illegally stormed the city, which is under siege for the sixth day in a row.

The occupation forces fired a barrage of poisonous tear gas, sound, and flash bombs at the Palestinian youths gathered at the entrance of the camp in an attempt to disperse them. A surveillance drone carried out overflights over the southern part of the camp, in a search and combing mission.

Areeha has been under an ongoing Israeli siege for the sixth day in a row, with military checkpoints and cement blocks erected since last Saturday at all entrances to the city. 

A few days ago, the Israeli occupation forces announced that a shooting took place near a restaurant at the "Almog Junction" near the city of Areeha in the occupied West Bank.

The IOF indicated that its occupation forces were combing the area in search of the individual who carried out the shooting.
