Israeli forces attack Nakba protesters
Tear gas fired at Palestinians across West Bank
ISRAELI occupation forces attacked Palestinians marking the 69th anniversary of the “Nakba,” the catastrophe of Israel’s creation, across the West Bank yesterday.
Troops used tear gas and rubber-coated bullets to break up Nakba Day marches in Bethlehem and Ramallah, the Ma’an news agency reported.
In Bethlehem, at least three people were taken to hospital with gunshot wounds from the “tutu” (.22 calibre) rifle rounds.
