Five Palestinians injured as IOF quells march in Ramallah

Saturday 8-August-2020

Five Palestinian citizens on Friday afternoon suffered bullet injuries when the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) attacked a march organized in Turmus Ayya town in Ramallah against settlement activities.

According to local sources the IOF attacked the march after local residents went to an area threatened with annexation in Turmus Ayya in order to perform the Friday prayer and protest the Israeli decision to appropriate their lands.

The sources said that Israeli soldiers stormed the town and fired live bullets at the protesters.

A few months ago Israeli war minister Naftali Bennett issued an edict banning the Palestinians from building or using their own lands in Area B which is under the Palestinian Authority’s civil control in accordance with the Oslo accords.
