Israeli forces stormed several local banks and money exchange stores in West Bank cities on predawn Wednesday, seizing more than one million U.S. dollars, Palestinian security sources and witnesses said.
In northern West Bank city of Jenin, an Israeli force rolled into the town and seized about one million New Israeli Shekels ( NIS), (about a quarter million U.S. dollars) from several money exchange stores and banks.
Witnesses said that the troops, backed by 30 military vehicles, surrounded a number of houses in Jenin and broke into nearby money exchange stores and robbed them under the pretext of searching for Palestinian militants.

In the West Bank city of Tulkarem, the troops also confiscated cash and computers from two stores.
Moreover, the troops entered into the National Commercial Bank in Nablus city and seven stores in Ramallah city, seizing all money inside, according to the witness.
