RAMALLAH, (PIC)– A 21-year-old Palestinian student was hit in his right eye with a bullet fired by Israeli occupation forces (IOF) while quelling a peaceful pro-prisoners rally near Ofer jail south of Ramallah on Saturday.
Local sources told the PIC reporter that Mousa Al-Shi’ani was hospitalized in moderate to serious condition, noting that the IOF refused to allow him treatment in a Jerusalem hospital at the pretext of a security ban.
Shi’ani, a student in the third grade at the faculty of Commerce and Economics , is one of the leaders of the Islamic bloc in the Birzeit university, which almost daily organizes solidarity marches in support of hunger striking prisoners.
Seven Palestinians were injured in the IOF quelling of the peaceful march while others were treated for teargas suffocation.
The demonstrators marched from Ramallah city toward the Ofer jail and were stopped at the military roadblock where they threw stones at the soldiers who fired rubber bullets and tear gas canisters in addition to wastewater at the civilians and the press teams.
