Dozens of Palestinians injured in Abu Dis clashes

Dozens of Palestinians were injured Monday morning as clashes broke out in Abu Dis village east of occupied Jerusalem.

Local activist Hani Halabia said that the clashes erupted when Israeli forces stormed the village early today to seal holes locals have drilled in Israel’s apartheid wall built to separate the town from the occupied city.

Heavy teargas bombs and rubber bullets were fired by Israeli forces, while local youths responded with throwing stones and setting fire to tires.

Dozens of locals suffered different injuries and teargas inhalation during the clashes.

Following the confrontation, Abu Dis University suspended classes, citing safety of students and staff as its reason.
