Violent clashes erupted at noon Monday between Palestinian youths and Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) at Beit El military barrier north of Ramallah.
The PIC reporter said that hundreds of Birzeit University students participated in a march that followed an in-campus massive sit-in and headed to Beit El checkpoint. The event was held in support of al-Aqsa Mosque as well as in protest at the installation of metal detectors at its gates.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society stated that IOF soldiers opened fire at protesters resulting in injuries among them including two with live bullets. The Palestinian Health Ministry announced however that four moderate injuries by Israeli live bullets were reported. The wounded were treated in the Palestine Medical Complex in Ramallah.
