Israeli forces arrest 9 French activists
[Iran Press TV] Israeli forces have jugged several protesters, including nine French activists, at one of the largest Israeli military checkpoints in Qalandia in the Palestinian-occupied Israeli West Bank.

The protesters were rallying on Sunday against the illegal apartheid wall that Israel is building across the Palestinian-occupied Israeli West Bank, organizers told AFP.

Israel is building a 400-mile system of fences and concrete walls in and around the Palestinian-occupied Israeli West Bank.

Israeli police claim report that the arrests were made after protesters tried to cross the Qalandia checkpoint north of Arab-occupied East al-Quds (Jerusalem).

A front man for the French EuroPaleostine activist group said nine French citizens were jugged at the demonstration, adding that one Paleostinian nabbed at the protest was later released.

Earlier on Saturday, French activist Layli Ben Saffi was nabbed by the Israeli military during a protest against Israeli settler activity nation building in the West Bank city of al-Khalil (Hebron).

In another incident in the West Bank city of Nablus on Sunday, Israeli soldiers nabbed three Paleostinians.

One of them was transferred to the Megiddo prison in the occupied West Bank, but the other two were later released.
