Eyewitnesses said that the settlers arrived in 16 buses and left after dawn after clashing with Palestinian youths from nearby Askar and Balata refugee camps.

The young men closed roads in the area, burnt tires, and threw stones at the intruders while the Israeli occupation forces fired tear gas and stun grenades at the youth.
