46 Palestinians were injured as clashes broke out on Thursday at the northern entrance to Al-Bireh city in Ramallah.
The clashes erupted when Israeli occupation forces (IOF) violently suppressed a Palestinian rally marking the 17th anniversary of the late President Yasser Arafat’s death.
The Red Crescent Society reported 26 teargas suffocation cases and 14 rubber bullet injuries.
Six other people suffered bruises and minor injuries while two Palestinians were arrested during the clashes.
On November 11 2004 Arafat died in a French hospital where he was flown to after suffering from a sudden illness following a tight and inhuman Israeli military siege of the presidential headquarters in Ramallah.
