Israeli Troops Stage Raids and Searches
Israeli troops arrested 16 wanted Palestinians in a series of raids north of the West Bank city of Ramallah, an Israeli military source said.
Troops also entered the Balata refugee camp and began house-to-house searches. The soldiers used tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse a crowd of stone throwers, the Israeli military and Palestinian witnesses said. Five people were injured slightly, witnesses said.
They reported that soldiers also fired tear gas into a girls school in the camp, but the military denied that.
