The statement added that occupation forces are, in the meantime, blocking roads and combing the area, in search of the shooters.
Local Palestinian sources reported that Israeli occupation forces were deployed in the shooting scene, as they blocked Huwara Street, as well as Huwara and Za'tara checkpoints, south of Nablus, and forced shop owners to shut their businesses.
In a separate context, Israeli occupation forces fired gas bombs at Palestinians at the Beit Furik checkpoint, east of occupied Nablus.
