Soldiers Attack Anti-Wall Protest in Beit Ummar

HEBRON, February 25, 2012 (WAFA) - Israeli soldiers Saturday attacked the weekly non-violent demonstration against settlements and the Apartheid Wall in Beit Ummar, a town north of Hebron, said local activist.

Yousef Abu Maria, spokesman for the Popular Committee against the Wall in Beit Ummar, said Israeli soldiers fired smoke and sound grenades to disperse the protesters, as well as assaulted some participants with gun butts and sticks causing bruises and gas inhalation suffocation. All injuries were treated on the scene.

Participants in the protest condemned the Israeli authorities’ seizure of Palestinian-owned land for settlement expansion and the Israeli policy to prevent Palestinian farmers from accessing their agricultural land.
