increase in violence and clashes
About 400 Palestinians met in this area on Friday to protest against colonization, according to photographers from the France-Presse agency on site. Clashes have broken out when Israeli settlers and Palestinians started to start stones.
According to the Israeli army, “hundreds of Palestinians triggered a violent riot” Friday in these places. “The rioters burned tires and thrown stones to a road on which civilian vehicles pass,” she said in a statement, adding: “The army and the Israeli border police were deployed and retaliated using Miders of rudeut and real bullets. “
This incident occurred after two Palestinians were killed during a night operation of the Israeli army in Nablus, early Sunday, described by the army as a shooting with armed men.
Since the end of March, at least 53 Palestinians have been killed, mainly in the occupied West Bank, notably alleged activists and civilians including the American-Palestinian journalist of Al-Jazira Shireen Abu Akleh, who covered an Israeli operation to Jénine.
During the same period, 19 people – mostly Israeli civilians on the territory of Israel – were killed, mainly in attacks by Palestinians. Three Israeli Arab attackers were also killed.
