Israeli occupation forces have closed up shops in the Old City of Hebron and attacked Palestinian citizens with stun grenades, the Palestinian Information Centre reported on Friday.
Local sources said occupation forces stormed the municipality plaza, sealed off the Old City, and forced storekeepers to close their businesses.
They were also reported to have fired stun grenades to force Palestinians out of the area.
The Israeli army was accused of trying, through such practices, to limit the presence of Palestinian citizens in the Old City and force store owners to move from the area to make way for illegal Jewish settlers.
The Middle East Monitor reports that the forces also stormed the Budrus village and Jabel At-Tawil neighborhood in Al-Bireh City, northwest of Ramallah. It was also gathered that although they fired live ammunition and stun and tear gas grenades at Palestinians, no injuries were reported.
