Several Israeli military jeeps invaded, on Friday afternoon, Beit Ummar town, north of the southern West Bank city of Hebron, and attacked Palestinians holding a nonviolent procession.
The residents were marching while carrying Palestinian flags, demanding Israel to release the corpse of Khaled Bahar, 15, who was killed by army fire last week. Â
Mohammad Awad, the media spokesperson of the Popular Committee in Beit Ummar, said the soldiers were stationed at the entrance of the town, and started firing rubber-coated steel bullets and gas bombs at the nonviolent protesters. Â
Awad added that two young men were shot with rubber-coated steel bullets in their legs, while scores of residents suffer the severe effects of teargas inhalation.
