Occupiers injure two Palestinians near Hebron

RAMALLAH — Two Palestinians were wounded Saturday when Jewish occupiers hurled stones at anti-separation wall near the West Bank city of Hebron.
Ratib Al-Jbour, the coordinator of the Popular Committee Against the Wall and Settlements in south Hebron, said that settlers from Ma'on settlement attacked a rally in the town of Yatta, located to the south of Hebron.
The Palestinian residents and their foreign supporters hold a weekly protest against the separation wall Israel build on their lands.
Al-Jbour added that Fadel Ahmed Rabie', 46, and Mowahhed Ali Shawaheen, 16, were injured in the attack. Paramedics from the Palestinian Red Crescent Society said the two sustained light injuries and were evacuated to a Hebron's hospital for treatment.
Israel started the construction of the eight-meter-height cement wall in the West Bank in 2002. It said that the wall is to prevent Palestinian militants from infiltrating into Israel and carry out deadly bombing attacks. When complete, the wall, part concrete wall and part fence, is planned to extend 760 kilometers, although to date only around 200 kilometers have been completed. On two occasions the Supreme Court has ordered the re-routing of the wall in response to successful lawsuits from Palestinians who proved their lives were adversely affected by the wall.
In the West Bank, there are more than 500,000 Jewish occupiers who live with 2.5 million Palestinians. Tension has been always on between the two sides that usually turn into violence.
In recent months Jewish occupiers have increased their acts of harassment against Palestinians in the West Bank as a “price tag” for the decisions of Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to raze unauthorized settlement outposts in the Palestinian territories.
Meanwhile, the hawkish Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman repeated his attack on Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas saying he is the main obstacle to peace and no Israeli-Palestinian agreement will be possible until he is deposed as Palestinian Authority (PA) president.
Lieberman's office said in a statement Saturday that the minister told his counterparts from France, Russia, Spain and Argentina at sidelines of UN General Assembly that “as long as Abbas continues to hold office, there is no chance that Israelis and Palestinians will come to an agreement.” He added that “Abbas is the main and biggest obstacle currently facing the peace process.”
