Clashes erupted on Friday afternoon after Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) quelled a peaceful massive march in al-Walaja town south of Bethlehem. The march aimed at demanding Israeli occupation authorities (IOA) to hand over the body of martyr Basel al-A’raj.
The PIC reporter revealed that dozens of Palestinian youths participated in the march which was called for by friends of martyr al-A’raj after the IOA postponed on Friday the release of his body until a further notice.
The participants chanted slogans praising the martyr and castigating the Palestinian Authority he pointed out.
