Israeli army demolishes memorial for slain anti-occupation youth

Thursday 8-November-2018

Israeli army forces raided on Thursday Abu Dis town east of occupied Jerusalem and demolished a memorial for a young Palestinian protester killed by Israeli forces.

Israeli soldiers knocked down the memorial the locals had built to commemorate Mohammad Lafi who was shot and killed by Israeli soldiers in July 2017 while participating in anti-occupation protests.

The occupation army threatened severe punishment over the projected reconstruction of the memorial or the construction of others.

At the same time Israeli forces targeted Palestinian locals with spates of bullet fire and teargas sparking clashes.
