- Story Text: INTRO: Palestinian students clashed with Israeli soldiers on after Israeli security forces arrested more than 200 Palestinians in the West Bank.
-------------------------------------------------------------------- Israeli troops on Thursday (March 28) have carried out the biggest raid yet on Palestinians in the West Bank.
There were angry clashes between student demonstrators and the security forces.
The Israelis said the soldiers were looking for suspects from the Islamic Hamas movement that killed 58 people in four suicide bombings and for students from Gaza banned from the area.
The pre-dawn raid on the students from Bir Zeit University infuriated Palestinian police commanders and civilian officials, and led to confrontations between the students and soldiers at checkpoints on roads leading to the university.
The Israeli army said soldiers rounded up 200 people in Bir Zeit and two other villages near Ramallah. Army radio said 260 people were arrested.
