The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) attacked on Thursday a peaceful demonstration
organized by a number of disabled Palestinians in wheel-chairs in support of the
people of Bil'in village's anti-wall rallies.
"The IOF assaulted the participants, including 35 disabled persons who
came from different parts of the West bank to boost the morale of the village's
residents. Israeli teargas canisters and rubber-coated bullets didn't spare
them and wounded some of them", Abdullah Abu Rahma, coordinator of the
anti-wall committee in Bil'in said.
"We aimed at getting the attention of the whole world and tell them that
those disabled people were the fruits of the Israeli continued assaults and
aggression against innocent Palestinian civilians, and what we are doing now
is merely defending our most basic human rights", he affirmed.
Also Thursday, the daily Hebrew newspaper, Ha'aretz, reported that the Israeli
forces decided to step up its security measures in and around the Lebanese Sheba
Farms, saying that the aim is to prevent attacks carried out by the Lebanese
Hezbollah organization.
"The Israeli deputy chief of staff, Moshe Kibilinsky, approved a military
plan allocating 2.3 million dollar to fortify the electronic security along
the Farms and improve the monitoring equipments along the roads", it added.
According to Israeli military sources, "the plan will be implemented on
two stages that might last for one year due the threats of Hezbollah"
