Two Palestinians were injured Tuesday and dozens suffered breathing problems when Israeli occupation forces opened up with live fire and tear gas against Palestinians during an army raid into a town in the north of the West Bank.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said that a large Israeli force and undercover units stormed Qabatya, near Jenin, triggering clashes with local youth during which soldiers fired live rounds, rubber bullets and tear gas, wounding two people in the leg and dozens asphyxiated from tear gas.

It said soldiers ransacked the family homes of two prisoners from the town.

Elsewhere in the occupied West Bank, Israeli forces rounded up 14 Palestinians during search-and-arrest raids in the cities of Ramallah, Hebron and Nablus.
