AL-KHALIL, (PIC)-- Israeli occupation forces (IOF) and Zionist settlers attacked a Palestinian weekly peaceful march that was organized by activists and farmers in Beit Ummar, north of Al-Khalil, on Saturday.

Local sources said that the march was organized near the settlement of Karmei Tsur and was quelled by teargas bombs and stun grenades.

Demonstrators used horns to disturb settlers in a show of rejection of the settlement activity on their land while hoisting Palestinian and Turkish flags and approached the settlement's gate.

The IOF soldiers accompanied the Zionist settlers in their assault on the marchers and the journalists accompanying them, and declared the area a closed military zone.

In another incident, Zionist settlers in Al-Khalil city burnt two Palestinian civilian cars in downtown Al-Khalil on Friday night, Palestinian sources in the city reported.
