At around 2pm, 7 Israeli jeeps turned up at the foot of Birziet University campus, harassing and intimidating students as they walked around the campus to reach the polling stations. Some students threw stones at the jeeps making it clear that Israeli military presence is not welcomed at an educational institution, especially given it's long history of harassement of students and academics. Israeli soldiers retaliated with gas cannisters and live ammunition.
