Clashes between Israeli army and Palestinian university students
Heavy clashes erupted on Wednesday between the Israeli army and Palestinian students from the Birzeit university, after Israeli patrol cars closed the main gate of the university. Eyewitnesses said the Israeli army instigated the clash when it closed the gate and students started to throw stones at the Israeli army. The Israeli army used tear-gas to end the clashes when many students were injured or were being suffocated. The university is just starting a student council election campaign.
