Palestinians hurt in W. Bank clashes with Israel troops

Scores of Palestinians were injured in clashes with Israeli troops that erupted Saturday at the Amari refugee camp near the West Bank city of Ramallah.

In a statement, the Palestinian Red Crescent said one young man had been shot with live ammunition, while 22 others had been struck by rubber-coated bullets.

On Friday, an Israeli military force demolished the home of a Palestinian family inside the camp, sparking fierce confrontations with local residents and leading to a number of injuries.

The Israeli authorities, for their part, have since closed all entrances into Ramallah and the nearby town of Al-Bireh.
