Clashes flare as Israeli army quells anti-Trump protests in Salfit

Sunday 4-February-2018

A round of clashes burst out on Sunday evening between Palestinian anti-occupation youth and Israeli military forces north of Salfit province in the occupied West Bank.

According to eye-witnesses Israeli army patrols targeted Palestinian young men north of Salfit with acoustic grenades as they took to the streets to protest the fallouts of last month’s decision by the US President Donald Trump to recognize Occupied Jerusalem as the capital of the self-proclaimed Israeli state.

The Israeli military kept chasing down Palestinian protesters across olive groves.

A group of protesters responded to the crackdown by hurling stones at Israeli troops deployed near a military watchtower in the area.
