AL-KHALIL, Israeli occupation forces (IOF)
violently suppressed a rally in Beit Ummar village, to the north of Al-Khalil,
on Saturday injuring four participants including a child and a foreign
activist.
Yousef Abu Maria, the coordinator of the national
campaign in the village, said in a press release that the IOF soldiers fired
tear gas canisters at the demonstration that tried to reach the village’s
confiscated land near Karmi Tzur settlement.
He said that a 14-year-old child was injured along
with two citizens and a foreign activist, adding that the injuries were due to
the soldiers’ use of batons and rifle butts in attacking the participants.
Abu Maria said that the soldiers arrested Ahmed Abu
Hashem, the secretary of the popular committee in the village, while
participating in the event that started with visits to relatives of martyrs and
prisoners, noting that the rally was also organized in solidarity with
Palestinian prisoners on hunger strike.
