Alwaght- Unknown gunmen, believed to be from the Palestinian resistance, on Saturday night opened fire at an Israeli regime's military watchtower in an area near Azzun town, east of Qalqilya city in the occupied West Bank.
Local media sources say that the Israeli regime's occupation army intensified the presence of its forces around the besieged town of Azzun following the gunfire attack on the watchtower.
The sources affirmed that the Israeli army tightened its measure at the checkpoints it had established over one week ago on all roads leading to the town and launched dawn raids on Palestinian homes.
They said that local citizens were brutalized by Israeli soldiers during violent raids at dawn Sunday on several homes in Azzun town.
The presence of many illegal settlements and outposts in the area has become a source of constant tension and suffering for the local population, while the Israeli army persists in taking mass punitive measures against them following any stone-throwing or Molotov cocktail attack on Zionist or settlers.
Last December the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) passed a resolution censuring Israel for its settlement activities in the occupied Palestinian territories.
