Palestinian security sources and witnesses said today that the Israeli troops attacked a number of West Bank cities , such as Nablus, Qalqilia, Tulkarem and Ramallah, detaining 21 residents.

In the occupied east Jerusalem, Israeli soldiers rampaged a sit-in tent in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood of east Jerusalem, erected by a Palestinian family.

The tent was erected by the Alkurd family after Jewish extremist groups had displaced them from their home.

Hatem Abdelqader, a Palestinian lawmaker for Jerusalem, said that the tent was erected in a bid of protest at the their displacement some time ago.
