On Friday, Israeli soldiers injured several Palestinians, one seriously, during a nonviolent procession organized by Dismantle The Ghetto Campaign, in the Bab Az-Zawiya area in Hebron in the southern part of the occupied West Bank.
Media sources said the soldiers attacked the protesters with live rounds, rubber-coated steel bullets, gas bombs, and concussion grenades.
They added that the soldiers shot Osama Al-Qawasmi, a member of the Revolutionary Council of Fateh movement and its spokesperson, with a concussion grenade in the face.
Another Palestinian, Hashem Badareen, was critically after being struck in the head with a stun grenade. He hemorrhage in the brain before he was rushed to a hospital in a serious condition.
The soldiers also shot several Palestinians with rubber-coated steel bullets in their legs and caused many to suffer the effects of tear gas inhalation.
The Palestinians were marching in commemoration of the Ibrahimi Mosque Massacre, when on February 25, 1994, a Jewish settler named Baruch Goldstein, an Israeli army physician, opened indiscriminate fire from his army-issued automatic rifle at hundreds of Muslims as they were performing the dawn prayer on a Ramadan day.
After several minutes of shooting, 29 worshippers were killed, and 150 others were wounded before people were able to overcome the murderer and end his life.
