RAMALLAH, (PIC)-- The Israeli occupation authorities provided Abbas's Palestinian Authority and its security agencies with military supplies used in the suppression of masses and dispersing demonstrators, the Haaretz newspaper revealed, adding that this is the first time such a move was made by occupation since the PA was established.

The paper added in its Friday issue that this was done based on a request made by the PA a few months ago to prepare for facing demonstrations to coincide with the PA going to the UN, but the delay was because a political decision had to be taken before such supplies could be provided.

The paper said that these supplies included, gas canisters, rubber bullets, stun grenades and gas masks. The same means are used by the IOF to suppress Palestinian demonstrations and that have caused a number of deaths and serious injuries amongst Palestinians.
