On Friday evening, Israeli soldiers injured many Palestinians in the Bab az-Zawiya area in the center of Hebron city, in the southern part of the occupied West Bank.
Eyewitnesses said the soldiers, stationed at the Shuhada Street military roadblock, attacked dozens of Palestinians who marched in the area, protesting the ongoing Israeli escalation and the street’s closure.
The soldiers fired many gas bombs at the Palestinians, causing dozens to suffer the effects of tear gas inhalation and detaining and interrogating several residents.
Shuhada Street, and all of its shops and stores, have been shut down by the Israeli military since the year 1994, after Israeli-American Baruch Goldstein stormed the Ibrahimi Mosque and opened automatic fire on worshipers on February 25, 1994, killing 29 and wounding more than 200, before some managed to subdue and kill him.
The soldiers also attacked protesters at the main entrance of the Tiwana village in Masafer Yatta, south of Hebron.
In Tubas, in the northeastern West Bank, the soldiers confiscated a Palestinian bulldozer owned by Morad Nayef Wakhman while working in the Ein Shibly area in the Central Plains.
