Israeli soldiers invaded, on Thursday evening, al-Arroub refuge camp, north of the southern West Bank city of Hebron, leading to clashes between the soldiers and dozens of youths who hurled stones and empty bottles at the invading forces.The army fired rubber-coated metal bullets and gas bombs, including gas bombs that were directly fired at a number of homes leading to damage, local sources reported.
