More than thirty citizens and journalists were wounded in the confrontations in Na”lin village west of Ramallah city on Tuesday between IOF troops and citizens angered over confiscation of their lands.

Eyewitnesses said that two journalists were among the wounded in addition to tens of locals and international sympathizers. They added that three of the wounded were in “serious conditions” and were carried to Ramallah government hospital.

They added that the soldiers detained more than ten young men and released eight of them later but took away two named Mohammed and Jamal Kenaan.
