Israeli forces fire live bullet on to Palestinians in Jenin

Two Palestinian civilians sustained live bullet wounds and dozens choked on tear gas at dawn Tuesday in the wave of clashes that flared up between the Israeli occupation forces and Palestinian unarmed protesters in Jenin’s town of Qabatiya.

Local sources told the Palestinian Information Center that the forces stormed Jabal al-Zakarna and conducted intensive military drills before they suddenly cordoned off the area.

The troops deployed in the area reached as far as the environs of the Old Mosque in Qabatiya town.

Confrontations broke out between Israeli patrols and the Palestinian civilian protesters who voiced firm objection to the raid.

Volleys of tear gas grenades were randomly unleashed by the regime's forces in the process while the Palestinian civilians responded by hurling stones at the heavily armed soldiers, the same sources added.
