Israeli forces have carried out several raids on money exchanges across the occupied West Bank.
The Israeli army used live bullets and tear gas as they stormed the city of Nablus.
At least 21 Palestinians have been injured.
The army also deployed tanks in the cities of Tubas and Hebron.
Since the war on Gaza, Israeli army raids and armed settlers’ attacks on Palestinians in the occupied West Bank have left 982 people, including children, killed.
