Palestinian youths threw a grenade on Thursday in the direction of an Israeli occupation forces checkpoint near Al-Aroub refugee camp, in Al-Khalil city of the occupied West Bank, Israeli media reported.

The reports said that "a tear gas grenade was thrown toward a military point in the Al-Aroub, amid talks of a serious injury sustained by one of the soldiers."

In the same context, the Israeli 0404 news site reported that a homemade bomb was thrown at an occupation military tower near Al-Aroub camp by Palestinian Resistance fighters.

Palestinian sources in Al-Khalil said the occupation mobilized its forces in the area and launched a search mission to locate Resistance fighters, all while opening fire on citizen's properties.

Earlier this week, Al Mayadeen correspondent reported that an Israeli soldier was left injured after a ramming operation took place in the town of Huwara, south of Nablus.

The correspondent confirmed then that the man who carried out the operation had swiftly retreated from the scene causing the occupation forces to deploy several checkpoints and roadblocks in the vicinity, even forcing shops in the area to close down.

Israeli forces set up several checkpoints in the villages surrounding the town and intensified security measures at the checkpoints at the entrances to Nablus in search of the Palestinian youth.
