Gaza City, February 26 (RHC)-- In a fresh act of violence, Israeli forces have shot and injured three Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip, Press TV reports. Israeli troops injured the Palestinians near the so-called buffer zone of the besieged Gaza Strip on Tuesday.

The incident happened as Gazan protesters were marking the 20th anniversary of an Israeli massacre at Ibrahimi Mosque in al-Khalil (Hebron) twenty years ago. On February 25, 1994, Israeli settler Baruch Goldstein gunned down worshippers at the mosque, which is also revered by Jews, in the heart of the southern West Bank city of al-Khalil. Goldstein was affiliated with a racist group which advocates the forcible expulsion of all Palestinians from the “Greater Israel.”

Meanwhile, the 10th Annual Israeli Apartheid Week (IAW) kicked off in the United States and Britain with similar events expected to be held in other parts of the world in March. University campuses across North America and the United Kingdom kicked off the events on Monday to build support for the growing boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) campaign.

Israeli Apartheid Week is being held in the United States and UK between February 24th and March 2nd. It is expected to be also observed in over 200 cities around the world.
