Palestinians in West Bank protest against Israeli attacks on Gaza
RAMALLAH, Palestine (AA) – Clashes erupted across the occupied West Bank between the Israeli army and Palestinians demonstrating against the attacks on Gaza.
Eyewitnesses reported that clashes occurred at the entrance of Ramallah city, central to the West Bank, following a protest by Palestinians. The Israeli army employed live and rubber-coated bullets, as well as tear gas canisters, to disperse the Palestinians who were throwing rocks at the Israeli forces.
Meanwhile, clashes were reported near the Israeli Ofer Prison, west of Ramallah city, near the entrance of Bethlehem city, and in Nablus city in southern Gaza.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society reported treating three Palestinians injured by Israeli live fire.
Since October 7, the Israeli forces have killed 81 Palestinians across the occupied West Bank in addition to some 1,400 others injured.
Meanwhile, Gaza is experiencing a dire humanitarian crisis, with no electricity, while water, food, fuel, and medical supplies are running out.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has called for an “immediate humanitarian cease-fire” to ease the “epic human suffering.”
