Israeli troops clashed with hundreds of Palestinian stone throwers in the Samarian city of Nablus on Wednesday, firing tear gas, rubber-coated steel pellets and some live rounds, witnesses said.
Seven Palestinians were wounded, including four by live fire and three by rubber bullets, according to officials at the city's Raffidiyeh Hospital.
The army denied firing live rounds during the clash.
Earlier Wednesday, troops in about 30 jeeps searched for wanted Palestinian terrorists in the city and briefly detained four female relatives of suspects, Palestinian security officials said.
Also Wednesday, a 19-year-old Palestinian was caught with five homemade pipe bombs at an army checkpoint outside Nablus, the army said. Sappers detonated the explosives, the army said.
