HEBRON (Ma'an) -- Israeli forces attacked demonstrators at a peaceful rally demanding the reopening of Hebron's main street on Sunday, organizers said.
Youth Against Settlements organized the demonstration to protest the continued closure of Ash-Shuhada Street, largely closed to Palestinians following the growth of Israeli settlements in the city.
Organizers said Israeli soldiers prevented demonstrators from marching to the city's main square, situated next to Beit Romanu, an illegal outpost which took over a Palestinian primary school.
Forces were heavily deloyed in the area, and fired sound bombs to disperse the crowd, the group said, adding that settlers threw water at protesters. No injuries were reported.
