Several Palestinian protesters choked on teargas on Sunday evening after the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) aggressively dispersed a march in Qalandiya north of Occupied Jerusalem in solidarity with Palestinian hunger strikers in Israeli jails.
A PIC news correspondent said the Israeli forces violently quelled a peaceful Palestinian march that kicked off from the Qalandiya military checkpoint in northern Occupied Jerusalem to support the Palestinian hunger strikers Jamal Abu al-Leil and Raed Mteir who have been on an open-ended hunger strike for the fourth consecutive day to protest administrative detention with neither charge nor trial.
The occupation forces attacked the Palestinian marchers with heavy spates of teargas canisters sparking clashes.
The Israeli troops closed off the Qalandiya checkpoint and intensified their presence in the area.
Palestinian detainees Abu al-Leil and Mteir have started their hunger strikes in protest at their renewed six-month sentence in the Israeli Negev jail.
