Israeli forces raid Nablus village, force 'curfew' on entire village

Ma'an -- Israeli forces raided a village south of the West Bank city of Nablus Tuesday night.

More than 20 Israeli military vehicles entered Al-Majdal Bani Fadel, and dozens of soldiers began to search the area, locals said, adding that forces imposed a curfew on the village.

An Israeli military spokeswoman said soldiers entered the village in response to reports of gunfire in the area, but was not aware of any curfew imposed.
