BETHLEHEM, (PIC)-- Four Palestinian citizens were wounded while three others were arrested when the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) quelled a peaceful anti wall march in Beit Jala town north of Bethlehem on Sunday.
The weekly march started after the Sunday sermon with tens of Palestinians and foreign solidarity activists hoisted Palestinian flags and placards denouncing Zionist practices.
The demonstrators split into two groups one headed to the Israeli bulldozers and managed to obstruct their work for an hour while the second headed to the IOF roadblock.
Eyewitnesses said that the IOF soldiers violently dispersed the demonstration using batons and rifle butts to assault the participants. The demonstrators threw stones and empty bottles at the soldiers who then retaliated firing rubber bullets and teargas canisters, which caused the four casualties including a photojournalist.
