Zionist forces shot dead a Palestinian man and wounded 150 other people Thursday night during a massive protest in the West Bank against the Israeli aggression on Gaza, Palestinian officials said.
Palestinian security and medical officials named the martyr as Mohammed Al-Aaraj, 25, and said he was among at least 10,000 people clashing with soldiers and border police in Qalandiya, between Al-Quds (Jerusalem) and Ramallah.
They said that at least 150 people were injured by Israeli live fire in the protest, and five were in critical condition.
Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas appealed for blood donors.
Earlier, Zionist police had said that due to fears of massive protest over the deadly Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, they would bar men under the age of 50 from Al-Quds’ flashpoint Al Aqsa mosque for what are usually packed prayers on the last Friday of Ramadan.
Large numbers of police deployed throughout the occupied city on Thursday night.
Israeli public radio said Palestinians and Zionist troops also clashed around the West Bank cities of Nablus, Al-Khalil, Bethlehem and Tulkarem.
