AL-KHALIL, (PIC)-- Clashes erupted as Israeli occupation forces began Tuesday razing five private wells in Harayiq south of Al-Khalil city and rounded up several Palestinians across the West Bank.

The soldiers raided the Harayiq area Tuesday morning enforced by military vehicles and a bulldozer, locals reported. They handed the owners military decisions to demolish the wells under allegations that they were built without permits.
