GAZA, Oct 27 (KUNA) -- Tens of Palestinians were injured in the Umm Al-Fahm Arab town north of Israel due to clashes with Israeli police.
Eyewitnesses told a radio station in Gaza that police were protecting a group of settlers rallying in the southern part of the town, adding that the police dispersed the Palestinian crowd in the town with tear-gas and other weapons.
Settlers in the northern part of Israel are creating tension due to their plans to hold rallies on the 20th anniversary of the death of Rabbi Meir Khanaan, American-Israeli rabbi and ultra-nationalist writer and political figure. (end) mzt.gta KUNA 271310 Oct 10NNNN
