Wednesday 10-May-2017

Clashes erupted Wednesday morning between Palestinian youths and Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) in Bethlehem when Israeli soldiers broke into commercial shops for the confiscation of security cameras.

The PIC reporter said that IOF troops stormed a number of shops close to the northern entrance of Bethlehem city and adjacent to al-Ezzah refugee camp.

Israeli forces searched shops and confiscated surveillance cameras’ records in order to identify Palestinians who threw stones at the Israeli military watchtower in the area.

Palestinian young men confronted the incursion by throwing stones at IOF soldiers who fired tear gas grenades in order to disperse the protesters.
