Palestinians Demonstrate against Occupation Forces
Dozens of Palestinians suffered light injuries Friday as Israeli occupation forces tried to disperse weekly demonstrations throughout the occupied West Bank.
In al-Maasara, near Bethlehem, participants in a weekly march raised Palestinian flags, pictures of prisoners and Palestinians killed by Israel and chanted against the occupation.
Israeli forces used shields to stop demonstrators from reaching confiscated lands in the area.
Activists said that the demonstrations were to mark the anniversary of the 1929 Buraq uprising, and to protest the Prawer Plan in the Negev, which would displace the local population.
Two people were injured and dozens others suffered tear-gas inhalation in Bilin, near Ramallah, where residents and supporters held a weekly protest against settlements, the wall and the confiscation of land. Israeli forces fired rubber-coated steel bullets, tear gas, and stun grenades at protesters near the wall.
