Palestinians in West Bank Economic Protests, 50 Injured

(Jerusalem Post) Khaled Abu Toameh - At least 50 people were injured when protests against the high cost of living in the West Bank turned violent as demonstrators clashed with Palestinian Authority security personnel. Protesters blocked roads, burned tires and threw stones at PA policemen and institutions in the worst violence since the establishment of the PA in 1994. Hebron governor Kamel Hmeid said security forces were forced to intervene after some of the attackers had threatened to kill municipal workers and set the municipality on fire. Later, hundreds of protesters attacked a police station in the center of Hebron. Protests also took place in Ramallah, Jenin, Tulkarm, Bethlehem, Jericho and Nablus.
