Dozens of protesters including a journalist were left wounded on Friday afternoon after the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) attacked a march in Bethlehem calling for the release of dead bodies.
Reporting from the scene a PIC field correspondent said Palestinian journalist Islam al-Amarna was injured with the shrapnel of a sound bomb that exploded underneath her feet. She was rushed to the Beit Jala Hospital so as to be urgently treated for the wounds inflicted by the attack.
The Israeli army patrols targeted the marchers with randomly-unleashed spates of teargas canisters and sound bombs.
Dozens of protesters choked on tear gas after the IOF aggressively disbanded the march calling for the release of the bodies of slain anti-occupation youngsters.
The march kicked off from Merra crossroads on way to a flashpoint adjacent to Bilal Ibn Rabah Mosque.
The protesters lifted the pictures of slain anti-occupation youngsters whose bodies have been withheld by the Israeli occupation authorities.
