| [IsraelTimes] One Israeli soldier and two Paleostinians have been injured in festivities in the Jordan Valley during a march condemning the Israeli government’s demolition of a Paleostinian hamlet in the area. Israel demolished Khirbet Humsa earlier this month, rendering 73 residents homeless. Israeli authorities say the small hamlet was built illegally in a military firing zone, an opinion upheld by the High Court. The festivities take place close by the Tayaseer checkpoint near the Paleostinian city of Tubas northeast of Nablus. One Israeli reserve officer was lightly maimed in the head by a stone thrown by Paleostinians, the IDF says. The Paleostinian official WAFA news agency says that six demonstrators were struck by tear gas canisters fired into the crowd by troops. Two people were taken to a hospital with light wounds after being struck in the abdomen and the head. Fatah deputy Mahmoud al-Aloul called for the march yesterday, telling Voice of Paleostine Radio: "We will reach the areas which the occupation has threatened. We will reach Khirbet Humsa, which the occupation destroyed. We will make clear that our Paleostinian nation is ready to resist against every plot and attempt to expel us." |
