Sunday 8-January-2017

Violent clashes erupted Sunday morning between Palestinian students and Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) in the main street of Beddu town northwest of Occupied Jerusalem.

WAFA news agency quoted eyewitnesses as saying that the IOF soldiers unleashed tear gas and stun grenades towards Palestinian students who replied by stone throwing closing the main road with rocks and setting fire to car wheels. No injuries or arrests were reported.

In a similar context clashes were reported at the main entrance to al-Ram town to the north of Occupied Jerusalem near the Separation Wall. Severe suffocation cases among school students and people in the area resulted from Israeli shooting of tear gas grenades.

Earlier on Saturday evening the same town witnessed clashes at its northern main entrance that lasted for late night hours with no arrests or injuries reported.
