Jenin – Bethlehem – Ma'an – A member of the Al Quds Brigades, the armed wing of the Islamic Jihad movement, was injured on Tuesday in the village of Kafr Dan, to the west of Jenin, during an armed clash with the Israeli forces.
Israeli soldiers entered the village and occupied several houses. The soldiers detained three Palestinian citizens, one of whom was injured by shrapnel. All three were taken to an unknown destination.
Eyewitnesses said that undercover Israeli forces entered Kafr Dan and began shooting at the houses, before an armed confrontation erupted with the Palestinian resistance. The local fighters were subsequently detained and transported to an undisclosed location.
Left to bleed
Israeli soldiers denied Palestinian ambulances access to the scene. A wounded man was left bleeding in the streets for more than two hours before he was transported in an Israeli military jeep to an unknown destination.
They added that the Israel troops forced citizens to evacuate their homes at gunpoint, interrogating many of them before seizing their ID's.
Palestinian security forces confirmed that many houses were raided.
'Weapons caches'
The Israeli forces issued a statement saying that 12 Palestinians were 'arrested' in the West Bank and that a weapons cache was found in a village in the area of Ramallah.
Of the twelve arrested, Israeli forces reported, one was detained in the village of Silwad to the north of Ramallah, where they discovered a second arms arsenal.

The rest were arrested in the villages of Bir Zeit, Kofr Nema, Ein Arik, to the west of Ramallah, Qabalan to the south of Nablus, Beir Or At Athta and Beit Eksa, south of Nablus.
