Palestinian people have engaged in fresh clashes with Israeli forces and settlers who raided different cities across the occupied West Bank.

The confrontations took place after the Wednesday assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, the head of the political bureau of the Palestinian Hamas resistance group, in the Iranian capital Tehran.

In the al-Khalil governorate, south of the West Bank, Israeli troops carried out a series of raids and detained nine Palestinians, Wafa news agency reported.
