Ramallah, November 13 (RHC)-- A series of Israeli attacks on Palestinian demonstrations has injured dozens as clashes continue across the occupied West Bank. The Palestinian news agency Ma'an said on Friday that a total of 29 Palestinians were wounded in violent Israeli assaults on marches held in various towns and villages.

The report cited data from Palestine's Red Crescent, saying 11 people were shot with live fire as they were attending a peaceful gathering in Bireh, north of Ramallah. It said four others were wounded in similar incidents in Hebron and Qalqiliya.

The march in Hebron, which was called after Friday prayers by the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas, was apparently the biggest in size, with reports saying it turned into a deadly confrontation between the Palestinians and the Israeli forces.

The casualties on Friday are the latest in a string of violent incidents affecting the West Bank and the Gaza Strip over the past eight weeks. More than 80 Palestinians have been killed since clashes erupted in mid-September over an alleged plan by the Israelis to change the status quo of the al-Aqsa compound, a highly revered place for the Muslims across the world.
