Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) on Wednesday quelled a peaceful march staged by Factions Coordination Committee in Bethlehem in condemnation of Balfour declaration on its 100th anniversary.
The PIC reporter revealed that hundreds of citizens and activists participated in the march. They carried posters denouncing the ill-famed Balfour declaration and chanted slogans demanding an end to its consequences. The protesters burned an effigy of the late British Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour.
IOF soldiers fired tear gas and stun grenades in addition to rubber bullets at the marchers as they approached the northern entrance to Bethlehem. A number of Palestinians suffered breathing problems as a result.
