Palestinian media is reporting that Israeli troops stormed the town of Beitunia in the occupied West Bank, delaying the release of Palestinian prisoners as part of a truce with Hamas.
Beitunia lies between Israel's Ofer prison and the city of Ramallah.
Israel is set to release 30 Palestinian prisoners on Wednesday — 16 children and 14 women — according to Qatar, as part of the truce agreement with Hamas.
One man was injured by Israeli gunfire near the prison, Al Jazeera reported citing the Palestinian Red Crescent.
It added that the release of Palestinian prisoners had been delayed because of a confrontation between Israeli forces and locals.
