Israeli soldiers in a dozen army jeeps raided several homes and interrogated male residents Monday. Dozens of children and young teenagers threw sticks and stones at the jeeps as they left town and soldiers fired rubber bullets and tear gas. There was no direct exchange of fire between the army and the gunmen.(AP Photos/Nasser Ishtayeh)
