Confrontations near Ofer jail between Palestinian youths and zionist soldiers

Violent confrontations took place at noon Thursday between dozens of Bir Zeit university students and Israeli occupation forces (IOF) stationed at Ofer prison near Ramallah.

The PIC reporter said that students boarded buses that took them to Ofer where they got out of the buses and started throwing stones at the soldiers.

He pointed out that IOF reinforcements and police forces arrived to the scene and started firing rubber bullets and teargas at the students, but no casualties were reported.

The students were protesting the IOF cold-blooded murder of Mohammed Mubarak, 20, while he was working near Ramallah in a road maintenance project on Wednesday.
