12 injured in Ramallah clashes

As night began to fall on Ramallah and the Beit El settlement hundreds of protestors continued to march in the streets, MEE contributor Elia Ghorbiah on the ground said.

She said that protests first began to march from the Albeira Mosque in the southern entrance of the city near the flashpoint Beit El settlement.

According to Ghorbiah live fire was fired into the crowd that threw stones at Israeli soldiers. At least 12 Palestinians were injured, including nine who were hit with live ammunition, medical sources said.

A young protestor told MEE: "There is no other option but this, we have no freedom; we have no peace we are confined to this situation. Palestine will be free by us and with our street resistance."
