Pictures From A Tragic Weekend

Palestine Monitor
22 March 2010
A tragic weekend in the villages around Nablus claimed the lives of four young men. Two died following a demonstration in Iraq Burin, apparently with live ammunition, a claim denied by the military. On Sunday two more were killed in the Awarta checkpoint. Below are pictures of the demonstration and its consequences. All Pictures by FLV.
