RAMALLAH, Palestinian Territories (AFP) – At least 24 Palestinians were injured in clashes with Israeli police and the army on Sunday as thousands protested the “nakba” of Israel’s 1948 creation, medics said.

Five Palestinians were injured by rubber bullets as heavy clashes erupted near the Qalandiya crossing between Ramallah and annexed east Jerusalem, where thousands of people had gathered for a protest, medical sources said.

As youngsters hurled stones, troops responded with tear gas and rubber bullets, hitting one of the demonstrators in the head, who was understood to be in a serious condition, medics and an AFP correspondent said.

(Reuters) - Dozens of people were wounded in a shooting incident on the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights on Sunday as Palestinian refugees from neighboring Syria approached a frontier fence, Israel Radio said.

Initial reports said pro-Palestinian demonstrators who tried to break through the barrier were shot — it was not immediately clear by whom — as they tried to enter Israeli-controlled territory.

I wish I would read similar reports from our military when invaders try to cross our border.

Thanks library user. “Arabs also threw firebombs at the entrance to Hadassah-Ein Kerem Hospital in Jerusalem. No injuries have been reported there.”

No doubt the Israeli Military can handle it. But It would be well to pray for the peace of Jerusalem-Gut check suggests this may well be birth pangs spoken of by the Prophets.
