Saturday 20-January-2018

A Palestinian man on Saturday evening was wounded and others choked on tear gas during clashes with Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) that broke out in the towns of Kafr Qaddum in Qalqilya and Jaba in Jenin.

The coordinator of popular resistance in Kafr Qaddum Murad Eshtaiwi said that IOF quelled a peaceful march that kicked off in the town in protest at the US President Donald Trump’s latest decisions on Jerusalem. As a result Naser Hawash who is a paramedic of health committees was slightly injured. He received treatment in the field.

As for Jaba local sources told WAFA news agency that IOF soldiers raided the town and erected two military barriers at its entrance. Clashes between IOF and Palestinian youths then erupted.

IOF troops showered the protesters with tear gas canisters and rubber bullets leading to suffocation among Palestinians.
