APAwire - APAwire CLIENTS ONLY, Ramallah - 13 September 2019.
Palestinian protesters clash with Israeli troops following a demonstration against the expropriation of Palestinian land by Israel, in the village of Kafr Malik northeast of Ramallah in the Israeli-occupied West Bank .
STORYLINE - Four non-violent demonstrators were injured, and dozens of others were treated for the effects of tear gas inhalation as Israeli troops attacked on Friday a nonviolent protest organized at the village of Kufer Malek, east of the central west Bank city of Ramallah.
The protest called for an end to the land grab and water theft by Israeli settlers.
Beginning in the early morning hours Friday, the Israeli army closed all streets leading to Kufer Malek.
The protesters divided themselves into two groups. The first group started from the center of the village towards the Israeli settlement outpost constructed on stolen village land.
The Israeli forces launched a barrage of tear gas canisters and sprayed demonstrators with chemical water that generated a bad smell. As a result, dozens suffered the effects of tear gas inhalation.
In addition, due to the dry, hot conditions, the firing of tear gas led to fires that burnt large areas of farmers’ land.
For seven years, the Israeli settlers from the Kfar Shahar colonial settlement have been expanding their settlement and seizing the land of the village under the protection of Israeli soldiers as part of a plan to link and expand the settlement at the expense of the Palestinian farmers..
