AL-KHALIL (PIC)– An elderly Palestinian along with two foreign activists and a journalist were left injured during an attack by Israeli occupation forces (IOF) Saturday on a weekly anti-settlement march in the town of Beit Ummar north of the occupied city of Al-Khalil.
The clash broke out in the Dhahr region near the town of Beit Ummar between IOF troops and dozens of activists who were demonstrating against the Israeli decision to confiscate 16 dunums of land and annex it to an Israeli settlement.
During the confrontation journalist Najeh Hashlamoun was knocked unconscious by a gas canister to the back and a number of demonstrators suffered breathing difficulty including 65-year-old Khodr Zeidan Sabarneh.
21-year-old UK activist Harria was wounded by stun grenades which hit her head and back and 39-year-old French activist Saryal Larwal was hit in the left foot by a stun grenade. Both were taken to the hospital for treatment.
