NABLUS: Israeli occupation forces Wednesday fired poisonous tear gas canisters towards Palestinian citizens’ homes in the town of Beita, south of Nablus, causing fire to break out in one of the homes.
Local sources told WAFA that a number of occupation military vehicles stormed the town of Beita this afternoon shortly before the occupation soldiers began firing bullets, stun grenades and toxic tear gas towards the homes of citizens in the town, which led to the outbreak of fire in one of the houses as a result of the gas bombs, causing one part of a house to be set on fire.
The sources added that Palestinian Civil Defense crews rushed to the scene and were able to extinguish the fire.
