Heavy clashes broke out between Palestinians and Israeli forces in Abu Dis on Wednesday, a Fatah official said. Anwar Bader said that Israeli border police raided the town at around 9 a.m. and entered the campus of Al-Quds university. Israeli forces fired tear gas at students and employees, with dozens of people suffering smoke inhalation. Bader condemned the raid, which he said was designed to deliberately provoke clashes, and called on human rights organizations to condemn Israel for its crimes against civilians.
