Monday 30-October-2017

Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) along with Jewish settlers assaulted a UK solidarity delegation who came on foot from Britain to occupied Palestinian territories in order to mark the 100th anniversary of Balfour Declaration on November 02.

IOF soldiers banned foreign solidarity activists from accessing al-Shuhada Street and other closed areas.

The UK delegation consisted of 60 activists who walked from the UK to Occupied Jerusalem in a journey that lasted for 135 days. The delegation was received by al-Khalil organizations which offered the delegation a tour in the city.

The settlers also assaulted al-Khalil Assistant Governor Nidal al-Jaabari. Meanwhile IOF troops detained al-Khalil Governor Consultant Mahdi Mereb for a few hours upon the request of settlers who ousted the local and foreign activists.
