9 Palestinians Injured in Clashes with IOF at Martyr’s Funeral

Nine Palestinians were injured Saturday in clashes in al-Ram, north of Al-Quds, with Israeli occupation forces for a second day following the funeral of a Palestinian Israel martyred the previous day in occupied West Bank.

Talat Ramia, 25, died in surgery late Friday after Israeli occupation soldiers shot him in the chest with live fire at a protest, Ma’an news agency reported. Israel's army claimed the protester had fired fireworks at the soldiers.
The Israeli soldiers fired tear gas canisters heavily at the protesters as well as rubber-coated bullets at young men who threw stones from a distance far from the rest of the crowd, Ma’an reporter said.

That clash was one of a sequence between the Israeli occupation and Palestinian protesters angry over Israeli violence and desecration of sanctities in the Al-Aqsa mosque compound in Al-Quds.

Palestinian prime minister in Ramallah, meanwhile, denounced Israel's "resort to force" against non-violent protests in the West Bank, saying he held the Israeli government "completely responsible" for the incident.

“We have already warned all components of the international community, especially the international Quartet, on several occasions of the dangers of maintaining silence while Israel’s violence continues against non-violent protests our people carry out,” Salam Fayyad said. "The international community's silence... contributed to further Israeli undermining of our people's lives and committing this crime."This situation gives the international community direct responsibility for the continuation of such attacks," he added.
