RAMALLAH, (PIC)– A Palestinian man was injured and three others including children were arrested after Israeli soldiers attacked a festival and march marking Land Day in the village of Nabi Saleh north west of Ramallah.
A young man was hit in the back by a tear gas canister fired by the Israeli soldiers as they dispersed the march by force.
The soldiers arrested Adham Falteh, 20, Tamir Farah al-Tamimi, 17, and Mahmoud Wajeeh al-Tamimi, 15, and took them to an unidentified destination after severely battering them.
The Popular Resistance Movement staged the festivities to mark Earth Day, drawing in leaders and youth groups as well as dozens of foreign activists and locals.
After the festival, a popular march set out from Shuhada Square to land seized by the Israelis as Palestinians shouted demands for an end to the Israeli occupation and the Palestinian political split.
When marchers arrived at Tahrir mountain, soldiers rushed in and attacked. Prior to that, soldiers also attacked the festival and occupied the homes of Abdul-Elah and Wajeeh al-Tamimi and turned them into military posts.
