Palestinians in West Bank protest for 8th night against Israeli attacks on Gaza
For the eighth consecutive night in Bethlehem, Palestinian youth defiantly came out in the hundreds to protest and clash with Israeli Forces. Since the funeral of Muhammad Abu Khdeir who was savagely murdered last week, and the on-going bombardment of Gaza, dubbed by Israel as Operation: Protective Edge, tension and resentment toward the Israeli security apparatus has simmered over into violence. Israeli forces once again stormed into the Bethlehem streets and met the stone-throwing youth with live fire from M-16s, and volleys of tear gas from armored trucks, as well as sound bombs.
