RAMALLAH, July 11 (KUNA) -- Israeli forces closed down the village of Beit
Amr, close to Al-Khalil (Hebron), on Saturday and prevented farmers from
getting to their land.
Witnesses said that Israeli forces attacked the farmers as they headed to
their land, despite prior coordination with the Israelis, which claimed that
the area was a closed military zone.
Beit Amr regularly sees protests against the separation wall and the
construction of settlements, where dozens of supporters and journalists are
arrested.
Meanwhile, Israeli troops executed an incursion into the city of Jenin and
deployed to its streets. Several houses were searched, but no arrests were
reported.
However, Palestinian sources said that two Palestinians from Jenin refugee
camp were arrested while on their way back from Jordan, through Karama
Crossing. (end)
