[NABLUS]
Several hundred Palestinian and international civilians
are coming under brutal attack by the Israeli army as they non-violently
march in the streets of Huwara. The soldiers have responded with
live fire, tear gas, and sound grenades. Witnesses report the
Israeli soldiers are beating Palestinians and international civilians
with fists and rifles.
The civilians
are courageously breaking the Israeli imposed curfew and defying
the policies that are destroying their lives in a peaceful fashion.
The International
Solidarity Movement is a Palestinian-led movement of Palestinian
and International activists working for Palestinian freedom and
an end to Israeli occupation. We utilize nonviolent, direct-action
methods of resistance to confront and challenge illegal Israeli
occupation forces and policies.
We oppose
the collective punishment and will continue to be a resource for
the people of Palestine to aid in their struggle against the vicious
policies of the Israeli army and government.
Video
footage of the protest is available.
