Ma'an – Several Palestinian protestors were injured in the southern West Bank city of Hebron on Monday when the Palestinian security services violently dispersed a demonstration against Israeli aggression at Ktziot prison. One Palestinian prisoner was killed and 250 were injured during an Israeli raid at Ktziot prison in the Israeli Negev on Monday.The Palestinian security alleged that it dispersed the Hamas-affiliated demonstrators in Hebron as the protest was illegal and, because it was held at night, could endanger people. Clashes erupted between the Palestinian security and Hamas loyalists at the start of the demonstration, which began at Al-Hussain Ibin Ali Mosque.
PLC member from the Hamas bloc Hatim Qafisha said he saw a Palestinian civilian being shot with a firearm. He also reported contacting head of Hebron security Samih Al-Sayfi to request permission for the demonstration, but he did not give his consent for the event. After the permission was not given, Qafisha said he asked the protestors to disperse and they did. However, said Qafisha, the misconduct of the security services led to the eruption of clashes. Governor of Hebron Hussain Al-Araj said that the Palestinian security fired into the air after the demonstrators became violent.
