Several Palestinians were hurt on Wednesday after Israeli soldiers fired tear gas at homes during an army raid of the village of Rommaneh, west of Jenin in the northern West Bank, said local sources.

Israeli soldiers raided the town at dawn and fired tear gas canisters at Palestinian homes, causing several suffocation cases. Some people were transferred to hospital for medical treatment.

Israeli soldiers also stormed the village of Zabboba to the west of Jenin for the third consecutive day, deployed troops in the streets and alleys and placed flying checkpoints at its entrances while deploying forces on rooftops of two residences and turning them into military outposts.

Forces reportedly raided and wreaked havoc into dozens of homes in the area and interrogated their residents.
