Israel shot Palestinian demonstrators

A Palestinian official in Gaza said that Israeli security forces shot at Palestinian demonstrators yesterday, due to which nine persons were injured, two of whom were transported to the hospital while the rest received treatment at the location of the incident.

Demonstrations were organized to protest the continuation of the Israeli settlement policy, as the demonstrators threw stones at the Israeli security forces located before the settlement. The security forces retaliated by firing rubber-coated bullets and Palestinian police interfered to break up the demonstration.
