Friday 21-October-2016

Israeli soldiers on Thursday night attacked a Palestinian soccer team with tear gas in Azzun town east of Qalqiliya province.

Local sources told the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) that soldiers with no reason showered Azzun soccer players with tear gas as they were doing routine exercises in the courtyard of Marty Yasser Arafat School in the town.

They added that several players suffered from inhaling tear gas in the unjustified attack.

Meanwhile another military force erected barriers at the entrance to Azzun town and obstructed the movement of vehicles and passengers.

Locals also reported hearing gunshots and bangs resulting from the firing of stun grenades as well as seeing flares lighting up the sky over the town.
