The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) violently suppressed a peaceful march organized in Bethlehem to the south of West Bank on Wednesday demanding the return of slain Palestinians’ bodies held in Israeli morgues.

According to the PIC reporter the march came in coincidence with a court hearing held in the Israeli Supreme Court in occupied Jerusalem to decide over the appeals submitted by the dead Palestinians’ families.

The march kicked off at the northern entrance of the city amid large participation of national and Islamic figures and local activists.

The participants held photos of the slain Palestinians and slogans demanding the immediate release of their bodies.

Israeli forces suddenly fired a barrage of teargas bombs at the protesters; dozens choked on teargas.

Speaking to the PIC reporter head of the PA committee for prisoners and ex-prisoners Issa Qaraqe stressed the urgent need to internationalize the slain Palestinians’ issue condemning the Israeli collective punishment policy against Palestinian people.

Seven dead Palestinians’ bodies are still held in Israeli morgues including three Jerusalemites.

BETHLEHEM (PIC)– The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) suppressed Monday afternoon a peaceful march in Bethlehem south of the West Bank calling for boycotting Israeli goods.

The peaceful march was organized by the popular committee for the boycott of Israeli products in Beit Jala town north of the city to champion boycotting Israeli products.

According to Quds Press Israeli forces heavily fired teargas bombs at the participants causing several injuries.

General coordinator for the committee Munther Amira said that the boycott campaign is scheduled to kick off during Ramadan especially that Palestinian consumption of Israeli products increases during the holy month.

He accused Palestinian agents of Israeli companies of flooding Palestinian markets with the Israeli products at the expense of Palestinian alternative products.

Amira called on Palestinian concerned parties to seriously activate the boycott campaigns against Israeli products.
